Hydrological time series frequently exhibit periodic trends with variables such as rainfall, runoff, and evaporation rates often following annual cycles. Seasonal variations further contribute to the complexity of these data sets. A critical aspect of analyzing such phenomena is estimating realistic return intervals, making the precise determination of these values essential. Given this importance, selecting an appropriate probability distribution is paramount. To address this need, we introduce a flexible probability model specifically designed to capture periodicity in hydrological data. We thoroughly examine its fundamental mathematical and statistical properties, including the asymptotic behavior of the probability density function (PDF) and hazard rate function (HRF), to enhance predictive accuracy. Our analysis reveals that the PDF exhibits polynomial decay as x, ensuring heavy-tailed behavior suitable for extreme events. The HRF demonstrates decreasing or non-monotonic trends, reflecting variable failure risks over time. Additionally, we conduct a simulation study to evaluate the performance of the estimation method. Based on these results, we refine return period estimates, providing more reliable and robust hydrological assessments. This approach ensures that the model not only fits observed data but also captures the underlying dynamics of hydrological extremes. Full article

As digital transformation becomes an increasingly central focus of national and regional policy agendas, parallel efforts are intensifying to stimulate innovation as a critical driver of firm competitiveness and high-quality economic growth. However, regional disparities in innovation capacity persist. This study proposes an integrated framework in which regionally tracked digital economy indicators are leveraged to predict firm-level innovation performance, measured through patent activity, across China. Drawing on a comprehensive dataset covering 13 digital economic indicators from 2013 to 2022, this study spans core, broad, and narrow dimensions of digital development. Spatial dependencies among these indicators are assessed using global and local spatial autocorrelation measures, including Moran’s I and Geary’s C, to provide actionable insights for constructing innovation-conducive environments. To model the predictive relationship between digital metrics and innovation output, this study employs a suite of supervised machine learning techniques—Random Forest, Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), Support Vector Machine (SVM), XGBoost, and stacked ensemble approaches. Our findings demonstrate the potential of digital infrastructure metrics to serve as early indicators of regional innovation capacity, offering a data-driven foundation for targeted policymaking, strategic resource allocation, and the design of adaptive digital innovation ecosystems.

Domestication is a translation theory in which the source text (to be translated) is matched to the foreign reader by erasing its original linguistic and cultural difference. This match aims at making the target text (translated text) more fluent. On the contrary, foreignization is a translation theory in which the foreign reader is matched to the source text. This paper mathematically explores the degree of domestication/foreignization in current translation practice of texts written in alphabetical languages. A geometrical representation of texts, based on linear combinations of deep–language parameters, allows us (a) to calculate a domestication index which measures how much domestication is applied to the source text and (b) to distinguish language families. An expansion index measures the relative spread around mean values. This paper reports statistics and results on translations of (a) Greek New Testament books in Latin and in 35 modern languages, belonging to diverse language families; and (b) English novels in Western languages. English and French, although attributed to different language families, mathematically almost coincide. The requirement of making the target text more fluent makes domestication, with varying degrees, universally adopted, so that a blind comparison of the same linguistic parameters of a text and its translation hardly indicates that they refer to each other.
