Abstract

The global energy landscape is experiencing a transformative shift, with an increasing emphasis on sustainable and clean energy sources. Hydrogen remains a promising candidate for decarbonization, energy storage, and as an alternative fuel. This study explores the landscape of hydrogen pricing and demand dynamics by evaluating three collaboration scenarios: market-based pricing, cooperative integration, and coordinated decision-making. It incorporates price-sensitive demand, environmentally friendly production methods, and market penetration effects, to provide insights into maximizing market share, profitability, and sustainability within the hydrogen industry. This study contributes to understanding the complexities of collaboration by analyzing those structures and their role in a fast transition to clean hydrogen production by balancing economic viability and environmental goals. The findings reveal that the cooperative integration strategy is the most effective for sustainable growth, increasing green hydrogen's market share to 19.06 % and highlighting the potential for environmentally conscious hydrogen production. They also suggest that the coordinated decision-making approach enhances profitability through collaborative tariff contracts while balancing economic viability and environmental goals. This study also underscores the importance of strategic pricing mechanisms, policy alignment, and the role of hydrogen hubs in achieving sustainable growth in the hydrogen sector. By highlighting the uncertainties and potential barriers, this research offers actionable guidance for policymakers and industry players in shaping a competitive and sustainable energy marketplace.

Online activity prediction via generalized Indian buffet process models

Online A/B tests are the standard tool for data-driven decision-making at scale. Among the design choices with the largest impact on statistical power is the triggering mechanism: how many users to expose and for how long. This often requires forecasting user engagement, i.e., whether enough users will trigger, and when a target participation level will be reached, from limited pilot data. We introduce a Bayesian nonparametric model for predicting both new-user counts and total triggers, accommodating the heavy-tailed engagement patterns typical of web experiments. All predictive quantities can be computed without intensive numerical procedures such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) or variational inference. We evaluate on three public datasets (over 450 public benchmark evaluations) and a proprietary benchmark drawn from 759 production A/B tests comprising 1,774 arms. Across the benchmark analyses, our models are competitive and frequently improve accuracy in forecasting new users, total triggers, and time to reach a target sample size compared with state-of-the-art competitors, especially when only a few pilot days are observed.

Spending Scarce Confirmatory PET Measurements: Target-Aligned Validation in A4/LEARN

Anti-amyloid therapies and blood-based biomarkers are changing Alzheimer disease workups into a two-stage measurement workflow: screen broadly with cheaper information, then spend scarce confirmatory amyloid measurements where they support the decision that will be reported. Amyloid positron-emission tomography (PET) remains one such protocol measurement for amyloid burden, but PET slots, trial budgets, and payer-facing evidence packages are finite. This paper asks a deliberately operational question: when is simple transparent PET validation enough, and when is a fitted residual-uncertainty score worth the added complexity? For a weighted protocol target, the first-order value of validating subject i is the product of target influence and residual protocol uncertainty. Generic uncertainty sampling uses only the second factor and can spend PET measurements on subjects that are hard to predict but weak for the scientific, clinical, or commercial claim. We apply this rule to the A4/LEARN PET archive, treating observed PET as a design laboratory for scarce-confirmation studies. For the primary APOE4 carrier versus non-carrier contrast in Centiloid 24-or-higher PET positivity, simple APOE4-balanced validation recovers nearly all of the target-specific gain: at PET budget 200, the confidence-interval width ratio relative to random validation is 0.923 for APOE4 balancing and 0.914 for target-specific scoring, while generic uncertainty sampling is 0.980. Other targets behave differently: target-specific scoring gives larger gains for an age-slope analysis and for cutoff-indexed PET positivity. The practical message is simple: spend scarce protocol measurements according to the claim being validated, not only according to prediction uncertainty.

Identifying Damage Pathways Linking Sequence Composition to Storage Failure in DNA Data Storage via High-Dimensional Mediation Analysis

DNA data storage offers extraordinary information density and long-term durability, but its reliability is limited by sequence-dependent errors introduced during synthesis and accumulated during storage. It remains unclear how sequence composition is associated with storage failure through specific molecular damage components. We develop a high-dimensional semiparametric mediation framework for survival outcomes. GC content is treated as the exposure, a high-dimensional baseline damage spectrum (a vector of per-read damage counts stratified by trinucleotide context and error type) as the mediator, and storage-quality failure as the outcome. Nonlinear covariate effects in both the mediator and survival models are approximated using deep neural networks. A three-step procedure combining product-of-coefficients screening, Smoothly Clipped Absolute Deviation (SCAD) penalized estimation, and joint significance testing is developed for mediator selection and inference. Applied to an aging experiment on electrochemically synthesized DNA, the method identifies 14 significant mediators, all corresponding to single-base deletions, with estimated mediated effects concentrated in trinucleotide contexts ending in C. These results reveal deletion-type damage as a major pathway linking sequence composition to reduced archival reliability and suggest candidate sequence features for future optimization and error-control strategies. The proposed framework thus offers a mechanism-oriented statistical approach for understanding and improving the reliability of DNA data storage.
