Bayesian hierarchical spatial models: Implementing the Besag York Mollié model in stan

Bayesian Hierarchical Spatial - temporal Models

Spatial-temporal processes are prevalent especially in environmental sciences where, under most circumstances, the processes are non-stationary in time so that their temporal-variability must be captured in traditional spatial models for better estimation and prediction. We propose a Bayesian hierarchical spatial-temporal model to describe the dependence of extreme data on spatial locations as ...

Analysis of Hierarchical Bayesian Models for Large Space Time Data of the Housing Prices in Tehran

Housing price data is correlated to their location in different neighborhoods and their correlation is type of spatial (location). The price of housing is varius in different months, so they also have a time correlation. Spatio-temporal models are used to analyze this type of the data. An important purpose of reviewing this type of the data is to fit a suitable model for the spatial-temporal an...

Bayesian Model Selection in Spatial Lattice Models Bayesian Model Selection in Spatial Lattice Models

This work describes a Bayesian approach for model selection in Gaussian conditional autoregressive models and Gaussian simultaneous autoregressive models which are commonly used to describe spatial lattice data. The approach is aimed at situations when all competing models have the same mean structure, but differ on some aspects of their covariance structures. The proposed approach uses as sele...

Hierarchical Bayesian spatial models for multispecies conservation planning and monitoring.

Biologists who develop and apply habitat models are often familiar with the statistical challenges posed by their data's spatial structure but are unsure of whether the use of complex spatial models will increase the utility of model results in planning. We compared the relative performance of nonspatial and hierarchical Bayesian spatial models for three vertebrate and invertebrate taxa of cons...
