Abstract

Sustainable urban tourism depends on how environmental quality, public transport accessibility, and accommo dation clustering shape visitor mobility and destination development. This study examines these relationships in the budget hotel sector of Delhi National Capital Region, India, an emerging mega-destination marked by rapid urban expansion and uneven infrastructure provision. Using data from 857 budget hotels, we estimate a mixed geographically weighted spatial autoregressive model that captures both spatial heterogeneity and localized price spillovers. The model combines hotel attributes with satellite- derived indicators, including vegetation density, built-up area, night-time light intensity, and distances to metro stations, bus stops, airports, city centers, and tourist attractions. Results show that greenery has a place-dependent value: it generates a green premium in dense urban cores, where environmental amenities are scarce, but becomes a discount in peripheral areas where vegetation often reflects weaker tourism infrastructure. Metro accessibility creates a mobility pre mium, highlighting the role of public transport in supporting low-cost tourist movement. Local spatial spillovers reveal agglomeration benefits in established clusters and price cannibalization in peripheral markets. The find ings show how spatially differentiated planning can align green infrastructure, transit investment, and budget accommodation with more sustainable urban tourism development.

Real-time Win Probability and Latent Player Ability via STATS X in Team Sports

This study proposes a statistically grounded framework for real-time win probability evaluation and player assessment in score-based team sports, based on minute-by-minute cumulative box-score data. We introduce a continuous dominance indicator (T-score) that maps final scores to real values consistent with win/lose outcomes, and formulate it as a time-evolving stochastic representation (T-process) driven by standardized cumulative statistics. This structure captures temporal game dynamics and enables sequential, analytically tractable updates of in-game win probability. Through this stochastic formulation, competitive advantage is decomposed into interpretable statistical components. Furthermore, we define a latent contribution index, STATS X, which quantifies a player's involvement in favorable dominance intervals identified by the T-process. This allows us to separate a team's baseline strength from game-specific performance fluctuations and provides a coherent, structural evaluation framework for both teams and players. While we do not implement AI methods in this paper, our framework is positioned as a foundational step toward hybrid integration with AI. By providing a structured time-series representation of dominance with an explicit probabilistic interpretation, the framework enables flexible learning mechanisms and incorporation of high-dimensional data, while preserving statistical coherence and interpretability. This work provides a basis for advancing AI-driven sports analytics.

Critique of "Use of roster charts in the investigation and prosecution of nurses ..." by John O' Quigley

The paper "Use of roster charts in the investigation and prosecution of nurses suspected of inflicting deliberate harm on patients" by Prof. John O'Quigley explores an interesting hypothesis concerning statistical information hidden in the part of the infamous Lucy Letby roster chart pertaining to the 37 other nurses. Unfortunately, we have to point out some serious errors in his statistical analyses. The data actually contains information which strongly disproves his main modelling assumption. We do, however, strongly agree with him that from a forensic statistical point of view, the roster chart is fake evidence which should not have been shown to jurors.

Challenge or Pass? A Dynamic Policy for MLB's Automated Ball-Strike System

Under Major League Baseball's automated ball-strike (ABS) challenge system, players must weigh the value of overturning a call against the risk of losing a challenge they may need later. We develop a policy that values an overturn through its effect on expected runs, accounting for the count, outs, and runners on base. Using pitch tracking and game records, we reconstruct challenge opportunities, including calls that players let stand. A Bayesian model represents players' imperfect impressions of pitch location and uses them to estimate overturn probabilities, with uncertainty calibrated from historical challenge decisions. Dynamic programming compares the expected gain with the future cost of losing a challenge, accounting for the stage of the game, the number of challenges remaining, and opportunities on both offense and defense. We develop the policy using games before the 2026 All-Star break and evaluate it without refitting on 983 games played afterward. Along the recorded sequence of opportunities, the policy recovers 0.536 modeled correction runs per game across both teams, compared with 0.452 under observed decisions, an improvement of 18.5%. The gain is 0.084 runs per game, with a 95% bootstrap interval of [0.065, 0.103]. The policy makes more challenges and recovers more value per successful review despite a lower overturn rate. These results show why overturn rate alone can be a misleading measure of challenge strategy.
