A Bayesian space–time model for clustering areal units based on their disease trends [PDF]
Population-level disease risk across a set of non-overlapping areal units varies in space and time, and a large research literature has developed methodology for identifying clusters of areal units exhibiting elevated risks.

Improving the INLA approach for approximate Bayesian inference for latent Gaussian models
We introduce a new copula-based correction for generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) within the integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) approach for approximate Bayesian inference for latent Gaussian models.

Impact of Community-Based Larviciding on the Prevalence of Malaria Infection in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. [PDF]
The use of larval source management is not prioritized by contemporary malaria control programs in sub-Saharan Africa despite historical success. Larviciding, in particular, could be effective in urban areas where transmission is focal and accessibility ...

Thermodynamically reengineering the listerial invasion complex InlA/E-cadherin [PDF]
Biological processes essentially all depend on the specific recognition between macromolecules and their interaction partners. Although many such interactions have been characterized both structurally and biophysically, the thermodynamic effects of small atomic changes remain poorly understood.

Natural environments and suicide mortality in the Netherlands: a cross-sectional, ecological study [PDF]
Background: Natural outdoor environments, such as green spaces (ie, grass, forests, or parks), blue spaces (ie, visible bodies of fresh or salt water), and coastal proximity, have been increasingly shown to promote mental health.

Competing risks joint models using R-INLA [PDF]
The methodological advancements made in the field of joint models are numerous. None the less, the case of competing risks joint models has largely been neglected, especially from a practitioner's point of view. In the relevant works on competing risks joint models, the assumptions of a Gaussian linear longitudinal series and proportional cause ...

Species distribution modeling with expert elicitation and Bayesian calibration
Species distribution models (SDM) are key tools in ecology, conservation, and natural resources management. They are traditionally trained with data on direct species observations. However, if collecting species data is difficult or expensive, complementary information sources on species distributions are needed.

Spatio‐temporal data integration for species distribution modelling in R‐INLA
Species distribution modelling is a highly used tool for understanding and predicting biodiversity change, and recent work has emphasised the importance of understanding how species distributions change over both time and space.
