A Bayesian spatio-temporal model of panel design data: airborne particle number concentration in Brisbane, Australia [PDF]
This paper outlines a methodology for semi-parametric spatio-temporal modelling of data which is dense in time but sparse in space, obtained from a split panel design, the most feasible approach to covering space and time with limited equipment. The data

Palm distributions for log Gaussian Cox processes [PDF]
This paper establishes a remarkable result regarding Palmdistributions for a log Gaussian Cox process: the reduced Palmdistribution for a log Gaussian Cox process is itself a log Gaussian Coxprocess which only differs from the original log Gaussian Cox ...

Integrated nested Laplace approximations for threshold stochastic volatility models [PDF]
Abstract The aim is to implement the integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA), known to be very fast and efficient, for estimating the parameters of the threshold stochastic volatility (TSV) model. INLA replaces Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations with accurate deterministic approximations. Weakly informative proper priors are used, as

Using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations for Modelling Spatial Healthcare Utilization
In recent years, spatial and spatio-temporal modeling have become an important area of research in many fields (epidemiology, environmental studies, disease mapping). In this work we propose different spatial models to study hospital recruitment, including some potentially explicative variables.

Traffic prediction at signalised intersections using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation
A Bayesian approach to predicting traffic flows at signalised intersections is considered using the the INLA framework. INLA is a deterministic, computationally efficient alternative to MCMC for estimating a posterior distribution. It is designed for latent Gaussian models where the parameters follow a joint Gaussian distribution.

Approximate Bayesian Inference for Latent Gaussian models by using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations [PDF]
Summary Structured additive regression models are perhaps the most commonly used class of models in statistical applications. It includes, among others, (generalized) linear models, (generalized) additive models, smoothing spline models, state space models, semiparametric regression, spatial and spatiotemporal models, log-Gaussian Cox

Spatial models generated by nested stochastic partial differential equations, with an application to global ozone mapping [PDF]
A new class of stochastic field models is constructed using nested stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). The model class is computationally efficient, applicable to data on general smooth manifolds, and includes both the Gaussian Mat\'{e}rn ...
