Spatial Bayesian Hierarchical Modelling with Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation
We consider latent Gaussian fields for modelling spatial dependence in the context of both spatial point patterns and areal data, providing two different applications. The inhomogeneous Log-Gaussian Cox Process model is specified to describe a seismic sequence occurred in Greece, resorting to the Stochastic Partial Differential Equations.

Bayesian spatio-temporal modeling for policy evaluation: Sensitivity of policy effect estimates in the context of COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. [PDF]
This study applies a Bayesian spatio-temporal model to demonstrate the sensitivity of policy effect estimates to spatial and temporal structure, using COVID-19 stay-at-home orders as a case study.

An Approximate Bayesian Inference for Beta Regression Models [PDF]
In modeling the variables related to each other, regression models are usually used assuming that the response variable is Normal. But in problems dealing with data such as the rate or ratio of an event distributed in the (0,1) interval, these models may

Animal Models and Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations [PDF]
AbstractAnimal models are generalized linear mixed models used in evolutionary biology and animal breeding to identify the genetic part of traits. Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) is a methodology for making fast, nonsampling-based Bayesian inference for hierarchical Gaussian Markov models.

Determining factors associated with cholera disease in Ethiopia using Bayesian hierarchical modeling
Background Cholera is a diarrheal disease caused by infection of the intestine with the gram-negative bacteria Vibrio cholera. It is caused by the ingestion of food or water and infected all age groups.

Spatial modelling of agro-ecologically significant grassland species using the INLA-SPDE approach
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.
