Forecasting Count Data With Varying Dispersion: A Latent‐Variable Approach
ABSTRACT Count data, such as product sales and disease case counts, are common in business forecasting and many areas of science. Although the Poisson distribution is the best known model for such data, its use is severely limited by its assumption that the dispersion is a fixed function of the mean, which rarely holds in real‐world scenarios.

Further Findings on the Intergenerational Transmission of Alcohol Consumption
ABSTRACT Using 43,817 parent–child pairs from 23 waves of the HILDA Survey, I study the intergenerational transmission of alcohol use within a rational model of trait transmission. Transmission is predominantly same‐sex: the mother–daughter elasticity is 0.10 and the father–son elasticity is 0.09; there is no father–daughter effect.

Cardiovascular disease incidence and cancer risk in two large European prospective cohorts
What's New? Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer share risk factors and biological mechanisms, raising questions about potential associations between the two, particularly regarding CVD duration and cancer onset. Whether CVD influences subsequent cancer risk, however, remains inconclusive.

Over a dozen cancers have been associated with excess body mass index, primarily in mid‐to‐late adulthood. Whether obesity‐related cancer risk differs across adulthood remains unclear. Using the Sensitive Periods Model and super‐landmarking approaches, this study found that higher BMI increased obesity‐related cancer risk across ages 30–65.

Limited evidence links processed meat intake and non‐cardia gastric cancer, while esophageal adenocarcinoma is increasing in Western countries, where diets are typically high in red and processed meats. Using data from over 450,000 participants from a large prospective study, the authors examined meat consumption and the risk of gastric and esophageal ...
