NORGES TEKNISK-NATURVITENSKAPELIGE UNIVERSITET Implementing Approximate Bayesian Inference using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation: a manual for the inla program
نویسندگان
چکیده
This manual describes the inla program, a new instrument which allows the user to easily perform approximate Bayesian inference using integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA). We describe the set of models which can be solved by the inla program and provide a series of worked out examples illustrating its usage in details. Appendix A contains a reference manual for the inla program. This manual is for version 1.0-0 of the inla program.

NORGES TEKNISK-NATURVITENSKAPELIGE UNIVERSITET Implementing Approximate Bayesian Inference for Survival Analysis using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations
In this report, we investigate the use of INLA, (Martino and Rue, 2008) to solve Bayesian inferential problems in Bayesisan Survival analsysis. In particular we consider the Exponential and Weibulldistributed lifetimes with and without censoring and frailty, and Cox-models with piecewise constant and piecewise linear baseline hazard. We demonstrate that all these models can (in most cases) be e...

Animal models are generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) used in evolutionary biology and animal breeding to identify the genetic part of traits. Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) is a methodology for making fast non-sampling based Bayesian inference for hierarchical Gaussian Markov models. In this paper we demonstrate that the INLA methodology can be used for many versions of Bayes...

In this report we apply Integrated Nested Laplace approximation (INLA) to a series of multivariate stochastic volatility models. These are a useful construct in financial time series analysis and can be formulated as latent Gaussian Markov Random Field (GMRF) models. This popular class of models is characterised by a GMRF as the second stage of the hierarchical structure and a vector of hyperpa...

متن کاملNORGES TEKNISK - NATURVITENSKAPELIGE UNIVERSITET Bayesian computing with INLA : new features by Thiago
The INLA approach for approximate Bayesian inference for latent Gaussian models has been shown to give fast and accurate estimates of posterior marginals and also to be a valuable tool in practice via the R-package R-INLA. In this paper we formalize new developments in the R-INLA package and show how these features greatly extend the scope of models that can be analyzed by this interface. We al...
