Spatially varying distributed lag non-linear models using Laplacian P-splines

Sara Rutten, Thomas Neyens, Elisa Duarte +2

Although distributed lag non-linear models (DLNMs) are commonly used to quantify delayed and non-linear exposure-response relationships, most existing applications assume that thes…

Distributed lag non-linear models with spatial effect modification using Laplacian P-splines

Sara Rutten, Thomas Neyens, Elisa Duarte +2

Distributed lag non-linear models (DLNMs) are a popular approach to flexibly model the effect of time-delayed exposures. Classical DLNMs specify a common exposure-lag-response rela…

A Bayesian Geoadditive Model for Spatial Disaggregation

Sara Rutten, Thomas Neyens, Elisa Duarte +1

We present a novel Bayesian spatial disaggregation model for count data, providing fast and flexible inference at high resolution. First, it incorporates non-linear covariate effec…

Distributed lag non-linear models with Laplacian-P-splines for analysis of spatially structured time series

Sara Rutten, Bryan Sumalinab, Oswaldo Gressani +4

Distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) have gained popularity for modeling nonlinear lagged relationships between exposures and outcomes. When applied to spatially referenced dat…

A flexible control function approach for survival data subject to different types of censoring

Ilias Willems, Sara Rutten, Gilles Crommen +1

This paper addresses the problem of identifying and estimating the causal effect of a treatment in the presence of unmeasured confounding and various types of right-censoring. Exam…
