The potential distribution of Bacillus anthracis suitability across Uganda using INLA

Scientific Reports, 2022
To reduce the veterinary, public health, environmental, and economic burden associated with anthrax outbreaks, it is vital to identify the spatial distribution of areas suitable for Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of the disease.

Spatio-Temporal Modeling for Forecasting High-Risk Freshwater Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms in Florida

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
Due to the occurrence of more frequent and widespread toxic cyanobacteria events, the ability to predict freshwater cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cyanoHAB) is of critical importance for the management of drinking and recreational waters.

Prediction and Surveillance Sampling Assessment in Plant Nurseries and Fields

Applied Sciences, 2022
In this paper, we propose a structured additive regression (STAR) model for modeling the occurrence of a disease in fields or nurseries. The methodological approach involves a Gaussian field (GF) affected by a spatial process represented by an ...

Choosing Right Bayesian Tools: A Comparative Study of Modern Bayesian Methods in Spatial Econometric Models

Econometrics
We compare three modern Bayesian approaches, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), Variational Bayes (VB), and Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA), for two classic spatial econometric specifications: the spatial lag model and spatial error model. Our

Need to go further: using INLA to discover limits and chances of burglaries’ spatiotemporal prediction in heterogeneous environments

Crime Science, 2022
Near-repeat victimization patterns have made predictive models for burglaries possible. While the models have been implemented in different countries, the results obtained have not always been in line with initial expectations; to the point where their ...
