Statistical Surveillance of Structural Breaks in Credit Rating Dynamics
The 2007–2008 financial crisis had severe consequences on the global economy and an intriguing question related to the crisis is whether structural breaks in the credit market can be detected.

ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

The KPSS test with two structural breaks [PDF]
In this paper, we generalize the KPSS-type test to allow for two structural breaks. Seven models have been defined depending on the way that structural breaks affect the time series behaviour. The paper derives the limit distribution of the test under both the null and the alternative hypotheses and conducts a set of simulation experiments to analyse ...

Monte Carlo Evaluation of the Methods Estimating Structural Change Point in Panel Data
In this study, we investigate the existence ofstructural break in a panel data consisting of N time series of T unit length,and the estimation performance of Simple Mean Shift Model, Fluctuation Test,Wald Statistic Test, Kim Test which are based on ...

ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Inference for Structural Breaks in Spatial Models
Summary: Testing for structural changes in spatial trends constitutes an important issue in many biomedical and geophysical applications. In this paper, a novel statistic based on a discrepancy measure over small blocks is proposed. This measure can be used not only to construct tests for structural breaks, but also to identify the change-boundaries of

Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

The structure and clustering of Lyman-break galaxies [PDF]
The number density and clustering properties of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) are consistent with them being the central galaxies of the most massive dark halos present at z~3. This conclusion holds in all currently popular hierarchical models for structure formation, and is almost independent of the global cosmological parameters. We examine whether the

The impact of technology on regional price dispersion in the US
We analyze the behavior of inflation in the era of fast pace information thanks to technological advances, especially internet. Owing to readily available information, prices/inflation should quickly converge under perfect competition.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
