2+ hour, 2+ min ago  (410+ words) Scientists have long sought better ways to assess how well statistical models reflect real-world data. Current methods often struggle with the balance between flagging false positives and missing genuine patterns. A Bayesian approach to goodness-of-fit testing offers a more principled…...

2+ hour, 19+ min ago  (265+ words) By combining sophisticated mathematical tools, specifically, Stein-type Poisson approximation and a Palm-coupling approach, the team has uncovered how the tail behaviour of vertex weights dictates the scaling of extreme edge lengths. For instance, in regimes where the average weight is…...

2+ hour, 33+ min ago  (251+ words) Accurate weather prediction relies on ensembles, multiple forecasts combined to give a range of likely outcomes. New work reveals a hidden flaw in how these ensembles are evaluated, where apparent improvements can actually mask unreliable results. A clever solution, using…...
