geoCount: An R Package for the Analysis of Geostatistical Count Data

Journal of Statistical Software, 2015
We describe the R package geoCount for the analysis of geostatistical count data. The package performs Bayesian analysis for the Poisson-lognormal and binomial-logitnormal spatial models, which are subclasses of the class of generalized linear spatial ...

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

Communications 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

XGBoost Meets INLA: A Two‐Stage Spatio‐Temporal Forecasting of Wildfires in Portugal

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildfires pose a major threat to Portugal, with over 115,000 hectares burned annually on average during 1980–2024, and the country has faced devastating mega‐fires such as those in 2017. Accurate forecasts of wildfire occurrence and burned area are therefore essential for firefighting resource allocation and emergency preparedness.

Modeling Benthic Animals in Space and Time Using Bayesian Point Process With Cross Validation: The Case of Holoturians

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Holothurian populations in the Mediterranean are relatively understudied, with limited knowledge of their spatial distribution, habitat preferences, and ecological dynamics, making their monitoring a key challenge for ecosystem assessment and sustainable management.

Causal Inference for Geostatistical Data Using an INLA‐based Spatial Propensity Score

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a Bayesian approach for spatial causal inference based on combining spatial propensity scoring with Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation. The method models both local and spillover exposure effects via multiple likelihoods and treats counterfactuals as missing data, allowing inference also for non‐Gaussian outcomes.

Global Burden of Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy in Adults Aged 60 and Older From 1990 to 2021: A Secondary Analysis of Global Burden of Disease 2021 Data

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM) poses a significant global health challenge, yet its impact on elderly populations across regions remains underexplored. Methods Using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data sourced from the official visualization platform, we analyzed ACM burden among individuals aged ≥ 60 years across 204 countries

Should you use data integration for your distribution model?

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 591-604, April 2026.
This paper explores cases where data integration (the joint modelling of two or more observational datasets) is useful for species distribution models, and also highlights cases where it's actually not useful. This provides the first concrete guidance for deciding whether or not data integration is worth your time.
