Spatial and Spatio-temporal Bayesian Models with R - INLA
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine an introduction to Bayesian theory and methodology with a focus on the spatial and spatio-temporal models used within the Bayesian framework and a series of practical examples which allow the reader to link the statistical theory presented to real data problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of alcohol drinking and cancer risk.
TL;DR: This meta-analysis showed no evidence of a threshold effect for most alcohol-related neoplasms and the inference is limited by absence of distinction between lifelong abstainers and former drinkers in several studies, and the possible selective inclusion of relevant sites only in cohort studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and spatio-temporal models with R-INLA
TL;DR: The Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation approach has been developed as a computationally efficient alternative to MCMC and the availability of an R package (R-INLA) allows researchers to easily apply this method.
Journal Article
Alcohol Consumption and the Risk of Cancer: A Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: A combined analysis of more than 200 studies assessing the link between alcohol and various types of cancer sought to investigate this association in more detail found that alcohol most strongly increased the risks for cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, and larynx.
