    • Spatial Data Analysis with R-INLA with Some Extensions 

      Bivand, Roger; Gómez-Rubio, Virgilio; Rue, Håvard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-01)
      The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) provides an interesting way of approximating the posterior marginals of a wide range of Bayesian hierarchical models. This approximation is based on conducting a Laplace ...
    • Spatial diffusion and spatial statistics: revisting Hägerstrand’s study of innovation diffusion. 

      Bivand, Roger (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Torsten Hägerstrand’s 1953 study of innovation diffusion [1] was pathbreaking in many ways. It was based on an explicit micro-model of information spread, and on Monte Carlo simulation of the hypothesised spatial process. ...
