Using INLA to fit a complex point process model with temporally varying effects – a case study [PDF]
, 2012 Integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) provides a fast and yet quite exact approach to fitting complex latent Gaussian models which comprise many statistical models in a Bayesian context, including log Gaussian Cox processes. This paper discusses

Med Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database provides essential primary data for public health research. However, its complexity and diversity pose challenges for conducting advanced secondary analyses. To address these challenges, we developed easyGBDR, an innovative integrated R toolkit designed to facilitate the secondary analysis of GBD ...

A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

Fast and flexible inference for joint models of multivariate longitudinal and survival data using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations [PDF]
, 2023 Modeling longitudinal and survival data jointly offers many advantages such as addressing measurement error and missing data in the longitudinal processes, understanding and quantifying the association between the longitudinal markers and the survival ...

Genetic susceptibility, colony size, and water temperature drive white-pox disease on the coral Acropora palmata. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Outbreaks of coral diseases are one of the greatest threats to reef corals in the Caribbean, yet the mechanisms that lead to coral diseases are still largely unknown. Here we examined the spatial-temporal dynamics of white-pox disease on Acropora palmata

Hierarchical Optimization of the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Energy
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract The As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy [SA07] has become a versatile ingredient in various geometry processing and machine learning methods. The classic method for its minimization is a block coordinate descent, alternating between local rotation estimation and a global linear solve, which converges slowly for large problem instances.

Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.
