Bayesian Spatial Modelling with R-INLA
Finn Lindgren, Håvard Rue
Feb 01, 2015
The principles behind the interface to continuous domain spatial models in the R- INLA software package for R are described. The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) approach proposed by Rue, Martino, and Chopin (2009)...

The proliferation of ‘violent-oriented' ethnic organizations and agitation groups operating in Nigeria, is a result of the inability of the Nigerian state to resolve the questions of citizenship, resource control, federalism and...
Agile Model-Driven Engineering
In this article, the authors describe the field of agile model-driven software engineering methods and present the results of a survey of the research and industrial practice in this field over the last 25 years. They evaluate...
Presidents, Prime Ministers and Policy Rhetoric
US President Woodrow Wilson and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd were separated by institutional contexts, relative power positions and decades in time. However, each confronted a similar dilemma — of reconciling...

Going off grid
This paper introduces a new method for performing computational inference on log-Gaussian Cox processes. The likelihood is approximated directly by making novel use of a continuously specified Gaussian random field. We show that...

Bayesian adaptive smoothing splines using stochastic differential equations
The smoothing spline is one of the most popular curve-fitting methods, partly because of empirical evidence supporting its effectiveness and partly because of its elegant mathematical formulation. However, there are two...

Spatio-temporal modeling of particulate matter concentration through the SPDE approach
In this work, we consider a hierarchical spatio-temporal model for particulate matter (PM) concentration in the North-Italian region Piemonte. The model involves a Gaussian Field (GF), affected by a measurement error, and a...

Bayesian computing with INLA
The INLA approach for approximate Bayesian inference for latent Gaussian models has been shown to give fast and accurate estimates of posterior marginals and also to be a valuable tool in practice via the R-package R-INLA. New...

Does non-stationary spatial data always require non-stationary random fields?

A stationary spatial model is an idealization and we expect that the true dependence structures of physical phenomena are spatially varying, but how should we handle this non-stationarity in practice? We study the challenges...

Exploring a New Class of Non-stationary Spatial Gaussian Random Fields with Varying Local Anisotropy
Gaussian random fields (GRFs) constitute an important part of spatial modelling, but can be computationally infeasible for general covariance structures. An efficient approach is to specify GRFs via stochastic partial...
