Profile likelihoods for parameters in Gaussian geostatistical models

Ruoyong Xu, Patrick Brown

Profile likelihoods are rarely used in geostatistical models due to the computational burden imposed by repeated decompositions of large variance matrices. Accounting for uncertain…

Poisson Cluster Process Models for Detecting Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies

Dayi Li, Alex Stringer, Patrick E. Brown +2

We propose a novel set of Poisson Cluster Process (PCP) models to detect Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies (UDGs), a class of extremely faint, enigmatic galaxies of substantial interest in mo…

Fast, Scalable Approximations to Posterior Distributions in Extended Latent Gaussian Models

Alex Stringer, Patrick Brown, Jamie Stafford

We define a novel class of additive models, called Extended Latent Gaussian Models, that allow for a wide range of response distributions and flexible relationships between the add…

Fully Bayesian inference for spatiotemporal data with the multi-resolution approximation

Luc Villandré, Jean-François Plante, Thierry Duchesne +1

Large spatiotemporal datasets are a challenge for conventional Bayesian models because of the cubic computational complexity of the algorithms for obtaining the Cholesky decomposit…

Geographically-dependent individual-level models for infectious diseases transmission

Md Mahsin, Rob Deardon, Patrick Brown

Infectious disease models can be of great use for understanding the underlying mechanisms that influence the spread of diseases and predicting future disease progression. Modeling…

Bayesian Spatial Analysis of Hardwood Tree Counts in Forests via MCMC

Reihaneh Entezari, Patrick E. Brown, Jeffrey S. Rosenthal

In this paper, we perform Bayesian Inference to analyze spatial tree count data from the Timiskaming and Abitibi River forests in Ontario, Canada. We consider a Bayesian Generalize…
