Bayesian Geographic Profiling: A Fundamental Limitation

Although Bayesian models cannot be used to inform suspect prioritization—the main function of geographic profiling—the approach could have applicability for police strategies based on area prioritization, and this major limitation of the Bayes approach to geoprofiling has been ignored in the literature.

A Chink in the Autocrat’s Armour: Demographic Change and Voter Turnout in Putin’s Russia

Abstract How do changes in ethnic composition affect voter turnout? In Russia, a country that institutionalizes ethnicity through federalism, research demonstrates that geographically concentrated…

Aggregated North American safety performance functions for signalized and stop-controlled intersections

Developing aggregate models of collision expectations at stop-controlled and signalized intersections in North America found that the Highway Safety Manual predictive equations are not a good representation of the average intersection collision expectation.

Valuing mortality risk in China: Comparing stated-preference estimates from 2005 and 2016

Estimates of VSL from stated-preference studies in which WTP is not close to proportionate to the stated risk reduction may be biased downward by a factor of two or more, and VSL is likely to grow rapidly in a population with strong economic growth, which implies that environmental-health, safety, and other policies should become increasingly protective.

More Than a Name? Variation in Electoral Mobilisation of Titular and Non-Titular Ethnic Minorities in Russian National Elections

Abstract Do patterns of electoral mobilisation differ between titular and non-titular ethnic minorities in Vladimir Putin’s Russia? Despite the fact that ‘titular privileging’ has been identified as…

Latent class models for ecological inference on voters transitions

Some new models of ecological inference within the context of estimation of voter transitions across elections, which assume that voters of a given party in a given occasion may be split into two latent types: faithful voters and movers, who will reconsider their choice.

Ecological Fallacy and Covariates: New Insights based on Multilevel Modelling of Individual Data

It is suggested that, when the association between two ecological variables is very weak, it is not possible to obtain unbiased estimates even by an appropriate model that accounts for the effect of relevant covariates.
