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…

Backcasting biodiversity at high spatiotemporal resolution using flexible site-occupancy models for opportunistically sampled citizen science data

Maxime Fajgenblat, Marc Herremans, Pieter Vanormelingen +6

For many taxonomic groups, online biodiversity portals used by naturalists and citizen scientists constitute the primary source of distributional information. Over the last decade,…

A Time-Series Model for Areal Data Using Area-Specific Gaussian Processes with Spatially Correlated Hyperparameters

Alejandro Rozo Posada, Oswaldo Gressani, Christel Faes +4

In many applied settings, areal data are observed repeatedly over long time periods, as commonly occurs in infectious disease surveillance and environmental or demographic monitori…

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…
