Survival Analysis of Fatigue Lifetime in Aged Elastomers Using Weibull and Cox Regression Models
Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 3854-3873, September 2026.ABSTRACT Fatigue tests conducted on elastomers inherently exhibit significant variability. Aging may induce stiffening and embrittlement, leading to premature failures outside the specimen gauge length and resulting in right‐censored data. Combined with the limited number of specimens, this leads to large uncertainties in fatigue lifetime estimation ...

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Background & Aims Prognostic non‐invasive tests for liver‐related events in compensated cirrhosis are needed. Endotrophin, a fragment of type VI alpha 3 collagen involved in fibrosis and inflammation, has been associated with adverse outcomes in several chronic diseases.

Bayesian Inference for Multivariate Monotone Densities
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 1206-1229, September 2026.ABSTRACT We consider a nonparametric Bayesian approach to estimation and testing for a multivariate monotone density. Instead of following the conventional Bayesian approach of imposing a prior that satisfies the monotonicity restriction, we place a prior on the step heights via binning and a Dirichlet distribution. The resulting posterior distribution

Invariant Measure and Universality of the 2D Yang–Mills Langevin Dynamic
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 8, Page 1973-2102, August 2026.ABSTRACT We prove that the Yang–Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two‐dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge‐fixing and Bourgain's method for invariant measures ...

Journal of Applied Econometrics, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 549-566, August 2026.ABSTRACT We present four novel tests of equal predictive accuracy and encompassing á Pitarakis (2023, 2025) for factor‐augmented regressions. Factors are estimated using cross‐section averages (CAs) of grouped series and our theoretical findings are empirically relevant: asymptotic normality, robustness to an overspecification of the number of factors,

A Joint Test of Unconfoundedness and Common Trends
Journal of Applied Econometrics, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 684-709, August 2026.ABSTRACT We introduce an overidentification test of two alternative assumptions to identify the average treatment effect on the treated in a two‐period panel data setting: unconfoundedness and common trends. Under unconfoundedness, treatment assignment and post‐treatment outcomes are independent, conditional on control variables and pre‐treatment ...

Stop Using Limiting Stimuli as a Measure of Sensitivities of Energetic Materials
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 1386-1400, August 2026.ABSTRACT Accurately estimating the sensitivity of explosive materials is a potentially life‐saving task that requires standardised protocols across nations. One of the most widely applied procedures worldwide is the so‐called ‘1‐In‐6’ test from the United Nations (UN) Manual of Tests in Criteria, which estimates a ‘limiting stimulus’ for a material. In

Local Time for Two-Parameter Continuous Martingales with Respect to the Quadratic Variation
The Annals of Probability, 1988 The author studies the local time for two-parameter continuous martingales M as a density of the ``measure of sojourn time'' with respect to the quadratic variation \(\). First she shows that there exists a process \(\{L(x,s,t);\) \(x\in {\mathbb{R}}\setminus \{0\},\) \((s,t)\in {\mathbb{R}}^ 2_+\}\) satisfying the occupation density formula and which ...

Random Structures &Algorithms, Volume 69, Issue 1, August 2026.ABSTRACT We study a random recursive tree model featuring complete redirection called the random friend tree and introduced by Saramäki and Kaski (2004). Vertices are attached sequentially, one by one, by selecting an existing target vertex and connecting to one of its neighbours (or friends), chosen uniformly at random.

Miners' Reward Elasticity and Stability of Competing Proof‐of‐Work Cryptocurrencies
International Economic Review, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 957-976, August 2026.ABSTRACT Proof‐of‐Work cryptocurrencies employ miners to sustain the system through algorithmic reward adjustments. We develop a stochastic model of the multicurrency mining and identify conditions for stable transaction speeds. Bitcoin's algorithm requires hash supply elasticity <$<$1 for stability, while ASERT remains stable for any elasticity and ...
