Laplace approximations and Bayesian P-splines for statistical inference
In Bayesian statistics, a general and widely used approach to extract information from (complex) posterior distributions relies on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. Although MCMC samplers provide powerful tools for Bayesian inference in various applications, they are often computationally intensive due to their iterative nature.

Systemic Lipid Peroxidation and Colorectal Cancer Risk: A Time‐Varying Relationship
Experimental studies in animals suggest that oxidative stress (OxS) declines as cancer progresses. Whether this occurs in humans, however, remains unclear. The authors of the present study addressed this question by analyzing lipid, DNA, and RNA oxidation biomarkers in relation to colorectal cancer (CRC) risk in patients from Shanghai and the United ...
