Two-level resolution of relative risk of dengue disease in a hyperendemic city of Colombia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Risk maps of dengue disease offer to the public health officers a tool to model disease risk in space and time. We analyzed the geographical distribution of relative incidence risk of dengue disease in a high incidence city from Colombia, and its ...

Mixtures of g-priors in Generalized Linear Models
, 2018 Mixtures of Zellner's g-priors have been studied extensively in linear models and have been shown to have numerous desirable properties for Bayesian variable selection and model averaging. Several extensions of g-priors to Generalized Linear Models (GLMs)

Approximate Bayesian inference based on INLA algorithm
Statistical Theory and Related FieldsThe integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) algorithm provides a computationally efficient approach for approximate Bayesian inference, overcoming the limitations of traditional Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods.

Bayesian Mortality Modeling with Linearized Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations
, 2022 Prediksjon av dødelighet er et viktig verktøy innen for eksempel aktuarviten- skap og demografi. Mange populære dødelighetsmodeller inneholder multiplikative ledd som gjør at de ikke inkluderes i gruppen av modeller der man kan bruke den populære metoden INLA (Rue et al. 2009) for å gjøre bayesiansk inferens.

The impact of rapid urbanization on water resources based on INLA
Frontiers in Environmental ScienceRapid urbanization reshapes regional water resources by reconfiguring land systems and altering the balance between runoff and infiltration. Empirical evidence that jointly accounts for human and natural drivers while addressing spatial dependence ...

Faster Detection of Poliomyelitis Outbreaks to Support Polio Eradication
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016 As the global eradication of poliomyelitis approaches the final stages, prompt detection of new outbreaks is critical to enable a fast and effective outbreak response. Surveillance relies on reporting of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases and laboratory

Bayes Model Selection with Path Sampling: Factor Models and Other Examples
, 2013 We prove a theorem justifying the regularity conditions which are needed for Path Sampling in Factor Models. We then show that the remaining ingredient, namely, MCMC for calculating the integrand at each point in the path, may be seriously flawed ...
