Spatial and spatio-temporal models with R-INLA [PDF]

Spatial and Spatio-temporal Epidemiology, 2013
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

Spatio-temporal data fusion for the analysis of in situ and remote sensing data using the INLA-SPDE approach [PDF]

Spatial Statistics
We propose a Bayesian hierarchical model to address the challenge of spatial misalignment in spatio-temporal data obtained from in situ and satellite sources. The model is fit using the INLA-SPDE approach, which provides efficient computation.

A practical illustration of spatial smoothing methods for disconnected regions with INLA: spatial survey on overweight and obesity in Malaysia

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2023
Background National prevalence could mask subnational heterogeneity in disease occurrence, and disease mapping is an important tool to illustrate the spatial pattern of disease. However, there is limited information on techniques for the specification of

OF MICE AND MEN: DISSECTING THE INTERACTION BETWEEN LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES INTERNALIN A AND E-CADHERIN

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2013
We report a study of the interaction between internalin A (inlA) and human or murine E-cadherin (Ecad). inlA is used by Listeria monocytogenes to internalize itself into host cell, but the bacterium is unable to invade murine cells, which has been ...

Bayesian Model Averaging with the Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation

Econometrics, 2020
The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) for Bayesian inference is an efficient approach to estimate the posterior marginal distributions of the parameters and latent effects of Bayesian hierarchical models that can be expressed as latent ...

Laplace approximation for conditional autoregressive models for spatial data of diseases

MethodsX, 2022
Conditional autoregressive (CAR) distributions are used to account for spatial autocorrelation in small areal or lattice data to assess the spatial risks of diseases.

Spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of the risk of viral hepatitis B incidence based on INLA in 14 prefectures of Xinjiang from 2004 to 2019.

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE, 2023
This study aimed to explore the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics and risk factors of hepatitis B (HB) in 14 prefectures of Xinjiang, China, and to provide a relevant reference basis for the prevention and treatment of HB.

Joint modeling and prediction of massive spatio-temporal wildfire count and burnt area data with the INLA-SPDE approach [PDF]

Extremes, 2022
This paper describes the methodology used by the team RedSea in the data competition organized for EVA 2021 conference. We develop a novel two-part model to jointly describe the wildfire count data and burnt area data provided by the competition ...

Characterization of internalin genes in Listeria monocytogenes from food and humans, and their association with the invasion of Caco-2 cells

Gut Pathogens, 2019
Background Internalins are surface proteins that are utilized by Listeria monocytogenes to facilitate its invasion into human intestinal epithelial cells. The expression of a full-length InlA is one of essential virulence factors for L.

Spatially Dependent Bayesian Modeling of Geostatistics Data and Its Application for Tuberculosis (TB) in China

Mathematics, 2023
Geostatistics data in regions always have highly spatial heterogeneous, yet the regional features of the data itself cannot be ignored. In this paper, a novel latent Bayesian spatial model is proposed, which incorporates the spatial dependence of ...
