Spatio‐temporal occupancy models with INLA [PDF]
Modern methods for quantifying, predicting and mapping species distributions have played a crucial part in biodiversity conservation. Occupancy models have become a popular choice for analysing species occurrence data due to their ability to separate out

Unveiling the Mutations and Conservation of InlA in Listeria monocytogenes
Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a pathogen that is transmitted through contaminated food and causes the illness known as listeriosis. The virulence factor InlA plays a crucial role in the invasion of L.

Research on the Genetic Polymorphism and Function of inlA with Premature Stop Codons in Listeria monocytogenes [PDF]
Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive bacterial species that causes listeriosis, a major foodborne disease worldwide. The virulence factor inlA facilitates the invasion of L.

Bayesian Spatial Modelling with R-INLA [PDF]
The principles behind the interface to continuous domain spatial models in the R- INLA software package for R are described. The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) approach proposed by Rue, Martino, and Chopin (2009) is a computationally ...

Seabird Prey in Space and Time: Combining Multiple Datasets to Model the Distribution of Sandeel (Ammodytes marinus) and Sprat (Sprattus sprattus) in the North Sea [PDF]
Forage fish are key prey and commercial species in the North Sea ecosystem, but estimates of their biomass over detailed spatial and temporal scales is currently limited. To fill this vital research gap we employ Hierarchical Bayesian spatiotemporal models of sandeel (Ammodytes marinus) and sprat (Sprattus sprattus) in the North Sea, providing fine ...

Bayesian Inference for Multivariate Spatial Models with INLA [PDF]
Bayesian methods and software for spatial data analysis are generally now well established in the scientific community. Despite the wide application of spatial models, the analysis of multivariate spatial data using R-INLA has not been widely described in the existing literature.

Molecular Characterisation and Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Listeria monocytogenes From Dairy Sources [PDF]
This study presents a comprehensive surveillance of L. monocytogenes along the dairy supply chain, from raw milk collection to final products and environmental sources. The methodological framework encompasses conventional microbiological isolation and identification, followed by phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing and calculation of the ...

Spatial and spatio-temporal models with R-INLA [PDF]
During the last three decades, Bayesian methods have developed greatly in the field of epidemiology. Their main challenge focusses around computation, but the advent of Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods (MCMC) and in particular of the WinBUGS software has opened the doors of Bayesian modelling to the wide research community. However model complexity and

Bayesian Computing with INLA: A Review [PDF]
The key operation in Bayesian inference is to compute high-dimensional integrals. An old approximate technique is the Laplace method or approximation, which dates back to Pierre-Simon Laplace (1774). This simple idea approximates the integrand with a second-order Taylor expansion around the mode and computes the integral analytically.

A Gentle Stan vs. INLA Comparison
Not long ago, I came across a nice blogpost by Kahtryn Morrison called A gentle INLA tutorial. The blog was nice and helped me better appreciate INLA. But as a fan of the Stan probabilistic language, I felt that comparing INLA to JAGS is not really that relevant, as Stan should - at least in theory - be way faster and better than JAGS.
