A Sequential Nonparametric Test for Detecting Change in the Distribution Based on Energy Statistics

Abstract In this article, we propose a sequential nonparametric test based on windowed energy statistics (Sźekely and Rizzo 2013) to detect changes in the distribution of independent random variables. The proposed method is simple and does not rely on the choice of kernel such as...

Effects of 1 Gray radiation on the biophysical properties of the tibia and femur from hindlimb‐suspended rats

Abstract Long‐term space travel (e.g. travel to Mars) will greatly exceed the recommended lifetime radiation dose of 600 millisieverts (mSv) and have a detrimental effect on skeletal fragility. Our objective was to determine if 1 Gray (GY) radiation impacts the biomechanical prop...

Dynamic connectedness between commodity markets and investor sentiment in “ESG” labeled funds

Abstract This study explores the dynamic interactions between price shocks to commodity markets and investor demand, proxied by fund flows, in environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-labeled global equity and bond funds. By focusing on labeled funds, the analysis isolates the...
