A Multiresolution Stochastic Process Model for Predicting Basketball Possession Outcomes

open access: yes, 2016
Basketball games evolve continuously in space and time as players constantly interact with their teammates, the opposing team, and the ball. However, current analyses of basketball outcomes rely on discretized summaries of the game that reduce such ...

State‐space models and inference approaches for aquatic animal tracking with passive acoustic telemetry and biologging sensors

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 418-434, February 2026.
Abstract Passive acoustic telemetry systems are widely deployed to track animals in aquatic environments. However, investments in integrative methods of data analysis have remained comparatively limited, with current workflows typically considering individual movements separately from space use, home ranges and residency.

On the choice of the mesh for the analysis of geostatistical data using R-INLA

open access: yesCommunications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2018
Many methods used in spatial statistics are computationally demanding, and so, the development of more computationally efficient methods has received attention. A important development is the integrated nested Laplace approximation method which is carry out Bayesian analysis more efficiently This method, for geostatistical data, is done considering the

Where Are the Important Hotspots for Forest Biodiversity? A Detailed Spatial Analysis for the Australian State of Victoria

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Identifying areas of high biodiversity value is critical for effective conservation. Similarly, identifying gaps in existing protected area networks is fundamental to determining where new areas are needed to better conserve biodiversity. We conducted a spatial prioritisation analysis for forest and woodland‐dependent species across Victoria ...

Stomach cancer incidence in Southern Portugal 1998-2006:a spatio-temporal analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Understanding geographical differences in health, particularly in small areas, became a major concern of epidemiologists. Geographical association studies and, more recently, several spatial disease mapping studies have emerged due to the development of

Research Communication: Changing Aetiology of Chronic Liver Diseases in East Asia Pacific and HCC Surveillance in Non‐Cirrhotic Patients

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 569-573, February 2026.
East Asia Pacific faces a rising CLD burden, with MASLD projected to account for 80% of CLD prevalence by 2040. HCC surveillance in non‐cirrhotic patients is cost‐effective only in select older age groups. Wide variation in thresholds across countries highlights the need for updated guidelines and risk‐based surveillance strategies.

Functional Brain Response to Emotional Muical Stimuli in Depression, Using INLA Approach for Approximate Bayesian Inference

open access: yesBasic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2021
Introduction: One of the vital skills which has an impact on emotional health and well-being is the regulation of emotions. In recent years, the neural basis of this process has been considered widely.

Accounting for unobserved spatial variation in step selection analyses of animal movement via spatial random effects

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Step selection analysis (SSA) is a common framework for understanding animal movement and resource selection using telemetry data. Such data are, however, inherently autocorrelated in space, a complication that could impact SSA‐based inference if left ...

Patterns and Drivers of Pest and Disease Occurrence in UK Treescapes

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
Tree pests and diseases can be very damaging to natural and commercial forests. We studied how the risk of tree pests and diseases varies across mainland Great Britain and explored how factors such as urbanisation and recreational visits affect the level of risk in different places.

A new perspective on Listeria monocytogenes evolution.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2008
Listeria monocytogenes is a model organism for cellular microbiology and host-pathogen interaction studies and an important food-borne pathogen widespread in the environment, thus representing an attractive model to study the evolution of virulence.
