Spatial modelling of agro-ecologically significant grassland species using the INLA-SPDE approach [PDF]
The use of spatially referenced data in agricultural systems modelling has grown in recent decades, however, the use of spatial modelling techniques in agricultural science is limited.

Spatial variability and uncertainty associated with soil moisture content using INLA-SPDE combined with PyMC3 probability programming [PDF]
Spatial variability and uncertainty associated with soil volumetric moisture content (SVMC) is crucial in moisture prediction accuracy, this paper sets out to address this point of SVMC by developing data-driven model.

Using a Bayesian modelling approach (INLA-SPDE) to predict the occurrence of the Spinetail Devil Ray (Mobular mobular). [PDF]
AbstractTo protect the most vulnerable marine species it is essential to have an understanding of their spatiotemporal distributions. In recent decades, Bayesian statistics have been successfully used to quantify uncertainty surrounding identified areas of interest for bycatch species.

Geostatistical Modelling and Web‐Based Mapping of Malaria Risks Among Children Under Five Years in Nigeria: Evidence From the 2021 Nigeria Malaria Indicator Survey [PDF]
Background Malaria is a critical public health concern in Nigeria with the country bearing an uneven burden of the disease. In Nigeria, malaria is one of the main causes of child mortality and despite all efforts to reduce malaria mortality rates, the ...

Bayesian modelling of spatio-temporal dynamics for early-warning and control of severe malaria in Cameroon [PDF]
Background: Malaria is a significant public health problem in Cameroon where spatial and temporal heterogeneities in transmission make early-warning and control complicated. The traditional forecasting methods have the limitation that they are not always

Data fusion in a two-stage spatio-temporal model using the INLA-SPDE approach
This paper proposes a two-stage estimation approach for a spatial misalignment scenario that is motivated by the epidemiological problem of linking pollutant exposures and health outcomes. We use the integrated nested Laplace approximation method to estimate the parameters of a two-stage spatio-temporal model — the first stage models the exposures ...

Migration-adjusted prostate cancer incidence in China: a population-based epidemiological analysis [PDF]
BackgroundChina’s internal migration poses major challenges to cancer surveillance systems that rely on household-registered populations (HRP). Excluding migrants can lead to biased incidence estimates and misinformed public health planning.MethodsThis ...

Abstract In air pollution studies a key issue concerns the change of support: pollutant concentrations are continuous phenomena in space but their measurements are typically available at a finite number of point-referenced monitoring stations or result from numerical models.

The estimated incidence of uterine corpus cancers among permanent residents in mainland China using Bayesian spatial modeling [PDF]
Cancer registration in mainland China traditionally focuses on household-registered residents (HRR) and does not include the migrant population among permanent residents (PR), leading to significant selection bias.
