Incorporating Biotic Information in Species Distribution Models: A Coregionalized Approach
Mathematics, 2021 In this work, we discuss the use of a methodological approach for modelling spatial relationships among species by means of a Bayesian spatial coregionalized model.

Computer model calibration with large non-stationary spatial outputs: application to the calibration of a climate model [PDF]
, 2018 Bayesian calibration of computer models tunes unknown input parameters by comparing outputs with observations. For model outputs that are distributed over space, this becomes computationally expensive because of the output size.

Parallelized integrated nested Laplace approximations for fast Bayesian inference
Statistics and Computing, 2022 There is a growing demand for performing larger-scale Bayesian inference tasks, arising from greater data availability and higher-dimensional model parameter spaces. In this work we present parallelization strategies for the methodology of integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA), a popular framework for performing approximate Bayesian inference

Bayesian Analysis of Population Health Data
Mathematics, 2021 The analysis of population-wide datasets can provide insight on the health status of large populations so that public health officials can make data-driven decisions. The analysis of such datasets often requires highly parameterized models with different

INLA or MCMC? A Tutorial and Comparative Evaluation for Spatial Prediction in log-Gaussian Cox Processes [PDF]
, 2012 We investigate two options for performing Bayesian inference on spatial log-Gaussian Cox processes assuming a spatially continuous latent field: Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and the integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA). We first describe the

Bayesian Computing with INLA: A Review [PDF]
, 2016 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).

EpiMix: A novel method to estimate effective reproduction number
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2023 Transmission potential of a pathogen, often quantified by the time-varying reproduction number Rt, provides the current pace of infection for a disease and indicates whether an emerging epidemic is under control. In this study, we proposed a novel method,

Efficient Reconstructions of Common Era Climate via Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Statistics, 2019 Paleoclimate reconstruction on the Common Era (1-2000AD) provide critical context for recent warming trends. This work leverages integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA) to conduct inference under a Bayesian hierarchical model using data from three sources: a state-of-the-art prox database (PAGES 2k), surface temperature observations (HadCRUT4),
