Evaluating Bayesian spatial methods for modelling species distributions with clumped and restricted occurrence data. [PDF]
Statistical approaches for inferring the spatial distribution of taxa (Species Distribution Models, SDMs) commonly rely on available occurrence data, which is often clumped and geographically restricted.

A Sequential Monte Carlo Method for Bayesian Poisson Process Trees
ABSTRACT Statistical analysis of spatial point patterns often needs to deal with heterogeneous structures in intensity function estimation with possibly high‐dimensional covariate space. Likelihood based inference for spatial point process models needs to address the challenges in evaluating the multidimensional integral of random intensity function ...

Graphical outputs and Spatial Cross-validation for the R-INLA package using INLAutils
Statistical analyses proceed by an iterative process of model fitting and checking. The R-INLA package facilitates this iteration by fitting many Bayesian models much faster than alternative MCMC approaches. As the interpretation of results and model objects from Bayesian analyses can be complex, the R package INLAutils provides users with easily ...

Bayesian spatial modelling of contraception effects on fertility in Mexican municipalities in 2020
The prevalence and use of contraceptive methods is an essential element to explain the behaviour of fertility and population growth. The objective of this study was to analyse the spatial correlation between the use of contraceptive methods in women of ...

RTMB: An R Package for Fitting Latent Variable Models With Template Model Builder
Hierarchical and latent variable models are fundamental in ecology, fisheries science, and epidemiology, but fitting them efficiently relies on automatic differentiation (AD) combined with approximations such as the Laplace approximation. RTMB is an R package that exposes the full power of TMB's AD machinery directly from plain R. Users write the joint

Fitting complex ecological point process models with integrated nested Laplace approximation [PDF]
Summary 1. We highlight an emerging statistical method, integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA), which is ideally suited for fitting complex models to many of the rich spatial data sets that ecologists wish to analyse. 2.

Modeling multivariate positive‐valued time series using R‐INLA
AbstractIn this article, we describe fast Bayesian statistical analysis of vector positive‐valued time series, with application to interesting financial data streams. We discuss a flexible level correlated model (LCM) framework for building hierarchical models for vector positive‐valued time series.

Bayesian Inference for Multivariate Spatial Models with R-INLA [PDF]
Bayesian methods and software for spatial data analysis are generally well established now in the scientific community. Despite the wide application of spatial models, the analysis of multivariate spatial data using the integrated nested Laplace ...
