Approximate Bayesian inference based on INLA algorithm

Statistical Theory and Related Fields
The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) algorithm provides a computationally efficient approach for approximate Bayesian inference, overcoming the limitations of traditional Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods.

Faster Detection of Poliomyelitis Outbreaks to Support Polio Eradication

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
As the global eradication of poliomyelitis approaches the final stages, prompt detection of new outbreaks is critical to enable a fast and effective outbreak response. Surveillance relies on reporting of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases and laboratory

Bayesian Mortality Modeling with Linearized Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations

, 2022
Prediksjon av dødelighet er et viktig verktøy innen for eksempel aktuarviten- skap og demografi. Mange populære dødelighetsmodeller inneholder multiplikative ledd som gjør at de ikke inkluderes i gruppen av modeller der man kan bruke den populære metoden INLA (Rue et al. 2009) for å gjøre bayesiansk inferens.

Econometrics at the Extreme: From Quantile Regression to QFAVAR1

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper surveys quantile modelling from its theoretical origins to current advances. We organize the literature and present core econometric formulations and estimation methods for: (i) cross‐sectional quantile regression; (ii) quantile time series models and their time series properties; (iii) quantile vector autoregressions for ...

The impact of rapid urbanization on water resources based on INLA

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Rapid urbanization reshapes regional water resources by reconfiguring land systems and altering the balance between runoff and infiltration. Empirical evidence that jointly accounts for human and natural drivers while addressing spatial dependence ...

Bayes Model Selection with Path Sampling: Factor Models and Other Examples

, 2013
We prove a theorem justifying the regularity conditions which are needed for Path Sampling in Factor Models. We then show that the remaining ingredient, namely, MCMC for calculating the integrand at each point in the path, may be seriously flawed ...

Robust CDF‐Filtering of a Location Parameter

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel framework for designing robust filters associated with signal plus noise models having symmetric observation density. The filters are obtained by a recursion where the innovation term is a transform of the cumulative distribution function of the residuals.

The effect of multimodal input on L2 learners' reading comprehension: A preregistered eye‐tracking study

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Multimodal materials (e.g., written text supplemented by images and/or audio) are commonplace in language classrooms. While they have been consistently shown to be beneficial for vocabulary acquisition, the efficacy of multimodal input in scaffolding text comprehension is less clear. Conflicting findings have also been reported in terms of the

Spatial distribution of dengue incidence and socio-environmental conditions in Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil, 2007

Cadernos de Saúde Pública, 2013
This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of dengue risk and its association with socio-environmental conditions. This was an ecological study of the counts of autochthonous dengue cases in the municipality of Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil,

Restoring off‐highway vehicle trails in flood‐prone and riparian forests using balsam poplar cuttings

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Recreational off‐highway vehicle (OHV) use can cause significant disturbance to natural areas. The use of local balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.) cuttings may be a solution to supply native plant material for the restoration of flood‐prone and riparian environments.
