Conferencia del Prof. Dr. D. Virgilio Gómez

Título: Spatial data analysis with R-INLA with some extensions
Ponente: Virgilio Gómez
Date: 16/07/2015 12:30 h
Lugar: Sala de Seminarios, Edificio Torretamarit
Resumen:
The Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation provides a suitable tool for approximate Bayesian inference. The R-INLA package implements this methodology as a package for the R software for statistical computing. I will show how this methodology and software can be extended to fit a larger number of models and how to tackle other important issues such as missing values. I will show the application of these methods to several real datasets.
