He is among the developers of the statistical software INLA which aims to perform fast inference on Bayesian hierarchical models. 38, book-beginning.google.maps.applications.with.rails.and.ajax. 36, book-bayesian disease mapping hierarchical modeling in spatial epidemiology.pdf. 37, book-beginning.google.maps.applications.with.php.and.ajax.pdf. Bayesian Disease Mapping: Hierarchical Modeling in Spatial Epidemiology, Second Edition. The analysis of large data sets of standardized mortality ratios (SMRs), obtained by collecting observed and expected disease counts in a map of contiguous regions, is a first step in descriptive epidemiology to detect potential environmental risk factors. Disease mapping models are used in spatial epidemiological studies to investigate the causes and distributions of diseases. Bayesian Disease Mapping: Hierarchical Modeling in Spatial Epidemiology, Second Edition Andrew B. His main research interests are computational methods for Bayesian inference, spatial modelling, Gaussian Markov random fields and stochastic partial differential equations, with applications in geostatistics and climate modelling.

A Bayesian hierarchical model including spatial random effects to allow for extra-Poisson variability is implemented providing estimates of the posterior probabilities that the null hypothesis of absence of risk is true.
