Assessing survival time of outpatients with cervical cancer: at the university of Gondar referral hospital using the Bayesian approach

BMC Women's Health, 2023
Background Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women worldwide. as well as the 4th most common cause of cancer-related death. The main objective of this study was to identify factors that affect the survival time of outpatients with cervical

Comparing Bayesian Spatial Conditional Overdispersion and the Besag–York–Mollié Models: Application to Infant Mortality Rates

Mathematics, 2021
In this paper, we review overdispersed Bayesian generalized spatial conditional count data models. Their usefulness is illustrated with their application to infant mortality rates from Colombian regions and by comparing them with the widely used Besag ...

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),

Markov chain Monte Carlo with the Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation [PDF]

, 2018
The Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) has established itself as a widely used method for approximate inference on Bayesian hierarchical models which can be represented as a latent Gaussian model (LGM).

Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations (INLA)

, 2019
This is a short description and basic introduction to the Integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA) approach. INLA is a deterministic paradigm for Bayesian inference in latent Gaussian models (LGMs) introduced in Rue et al. (2009). INLA relies on a combination of analytical approximations and efficient numerical integration schemes to achieve ...

Spatial Models Using Laplace Approximation Methods [PDF]

, 2019
Bayesian inference has been at the center of the development of spatial statistics in recent years. In particular, Bayesian hierarchical models including several fixed and random effects have become very popular in many different fields.

Kinetic Contribution to the Arbitrary Order Odd Frequency Moments of the Dynamic Structure Factor

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An exact expression is derived for the kinetic contribution to the odd (arbitrary order) frequency moments of the dynamic structure factor via a finite summation that features averages of even (all lower orders) powers of the momentum over the exact momentum distribution.

Geographical Pattern of Testicular Cancer Points to Maternal Exposures Behind Increasing Incidence

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evidence suggests that testicular cancer (TC) originates from germ cell neoplasia in situ arising during fetal development, implying that prenatal environmental exposures may influence disease risk. We investigated whether maternal place of residence during pregnancy is associated with regional variation in TC incidence.
