Repeated small dynamic networks are integral to studies in evolutionary game theory, where networked public goods games offer novel insights into human behaviors. Building on these findings, it is necessary to develop a statistical model that …
From 1979 to 2016, total Antarctic sea ice extent experienced a positive trend with record winter maxima in 2012 and 2014. Record summer minima followed within the period 2017-2024, raising the possibility that the Antarctic sea ice system might be …
Antarctic sea ice, a key component in the complex Antarctic climate system, is an important driver and indicator of the global climate. In the relatively short satellite-observed period from 1979 to 2022 the sea ice extent has continuously increased …
In this paper we undertake a scientific study of a COVID-19 outbreak in Sukhbaatar, Mongolia. We do so by analyzing data collected via contact tracing of cases by the rapid response team. We use a novel statistical model of the transmission networks …
We develop a method for improved estimation of a participant’s inclusion probability based on their network size (degree) as well as other information.
Claiming causal inferences in network settings necessitates careful consideration of the often complex dependency between outcomes for actors. Of particular importance are treatment spillover or outcome interference effects. We consider causal …
Probabilistic performance-based earthquake engineering frameworks depend on the choice of an optimal ground motion intensity measure. We evaluate this choice based on two widely known evaluation metrics: efficiency and sufficiency.
We discuss network modeling with a novel exponential-family class of models when the network has some stochastic covariates and is only partially observed.
