A flexible framework for local-level estimation of the effective reproductive number in geographic regions with sparse data [PDF]
BMC Medical Research MethodologyBackground Our research focuses on local-level estimation of the effective reproductive number, which describes the transmissibility of an infectious disease and represents the average number of individuals one infectious person infects at a given time ...

Competing risks joint models using R-INLA [PDF]
Statistical Modelling, 2020 The methodological advancements made in the field of joint models are numerous. None the less, the case of competing risks joint models has largely been neglected, especially from a practitioner's point of view. In the relevant works on competing risks joint models, the assumptions of a Gaussian linear longitudinal series and proportional cause ...

Spatial modeling with R‐INLA: A review [PDF]
WIREs Computational Statistics, 2018 Coming up with Bayesian models for spatial data is easy, but performing inference with them can be challenging. Writing fast inference code for a complex spatial model with realistically‐sized datasets from scratch is time‐consuming, and if changes are made to the model, there is little guarantee that the code performs well.

Spatial and spatio-temporal models with R-INLA [PDF]
Spatial and Spatio-temporal Epidemiology, 2013 During the last three decades, Bayesian methods have developed greatly in the field of epidemiology. Their main challenge focusses around computation, but the advent of Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods (MCMC) and in particular of the WinBUGS software has opened the doors of Bayesian modelling to the wide research community. However model complexity and

Laplace approximation for conditional autoregressive models for spatial data of diseases
MethodsX, 2022 Conditional autoregressive (CAR) distributions are used to account for spatial autocorrelation in small areal or lattice data to assess the spatial risks of diseases.

Estimating Animal Abundance with N-Mixture Models Using the R-INLA Package for R
Journal of Statistical Software, 2020 Successful management of wildlife populations requires accurate estimates of abundance. Abundance estimates can be confounded by imperfect detection during wildlife surveys.

Bayesian Model Averaging with the Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation
Econometrics, 2020 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 ...
