Dynamically rich, yet parameter-sparse models for spatial epidemiology: Comment on "Coupled disease-behavior dynamics on complex networks: A review" by Z. Wang et al.
Since the very inception of mathematical modeling in epidemiology, scientists exploited the simplicity ingrained in the assumption of a well-mixed population. For example, perhaps the earliest susceptible–infectious–recovered (SIR) model developed by L. Reed and W.H. Frost in the 1920s [1], included the well-mixed assumption such that any two individuals in the population could meet each other....
متن کاملParameter Estimation for Multivariate Spatial Lattice Models
As more spatial fields are being collected and analyzed in a wide variety of environmental problems, there is considerable effort in developing methodology for multivariate spatial models. One such model is the canonical multivariate conditional autoregressive (CAMCOR) model, which is a multivariate Markov random field model ideal for analyzing data on spatial grids or lattices. In this paper, ...
متن کاملSparse Log Gaussian Processes via MCMC for Spatial Epidemiology
In this work a fully independent training conditional (FITC) sparse approximation is used to speed up GP computations in the study of the spatial variations in relative mortality risk in a point referenced health-care data. The sampling of the latent values is sped up with transformations taking into account the approximate conditional posterior precision. Log Gaussian processes (LGP) are an at...
متن کاملFast Yet Rich Morphological Analysis
Implementations of models of morphologically rich languages such as Arabic typically achieve speed and small memory footprint at the cost of abandoning linguistically abstract and elegant representations. We present a solution to modeling rich morphologies that is both fast and based on linguistically rich representations. In our approach, we convert a linguistically complex and abstract implem...
متن کاملParameter Estimation in Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models with Skew Gaussian Random Effects using Laplace Approximation
Spatial generalized linear mixed models are used commonly for modelling non-Gaussian discrete spatial responses. We present an algorithm for parameter estimation of the models using Laplace approximation of likelihood function. In these models, the spatial correlation structure of data is carried out by random effects or latent variables. In most spatial analysis, it is assumed that rando...
