Bayesian Model Averaging with the Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation [PDF]
The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) for Bayesian inference is an efficient approach to estimate the posterior marginal distributions of the parameters and latent effects of Bayesian hierarchical models that can be expressed as latent ...

Estimating Spatial Econometrics Models with Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation
The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) provides a fast and effective method for marginal inference in Bayesian hierarchical models. This methodology has been implemented in the R-INLA package which permits INLA to be used from within R ...

Geostatistical Modelling and Web-Based Mapping of Malaria Risks Among Children Under Five Years in Nigeria: Evidence From the 2021 Nigeria Malaria Indicator Survey. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Malaria is a critical public health concern in Nigeria with the country bearing an uneven burden of the disease. In Nigeria, malaria is one of the main causes of child mortality and despite all efforts to reduce malaria mortality rates, the disease remains a major concern, notably among children under‐fives.

A Fast, Flexible Simulation Framework for Bayesian Adaptive Designs-The R Package BATSS. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The use of Bayesian adaptive designs for randomised controlled trials has been hindered by the lack of software readily available to statisticians. We have developed a new software package (Bayesian Adaptive Trials Simulator Software—BATSS) for the statistical software R, which provides a flexible structure for the fast simulation of Bayesian ...
