Asessing the Spatial Distribution of Fish Species Using Bayesian Latent Gaussian Models |
Apr 3, 2012 |
Talk at SIAM Conference on Uncertainty Quantification Raleigh, NC, USA.
We describe the use of the integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) approach to infer the spatial distribution of fish species, taking into account the spatial autocorrelation, and quantifying the uncertainty. The type of data available (and the methodology used to gather it) will determine the appropriate modelling scheme. In the first example, binary data has been collected that can be regarded as randomly sampled. In the second example, we analyze quantitative data with preferential sampling.

Productivity tools for research |
Mar 8, 2011 |
Talk at the Centro
Superior de investigación en Salud Pública (CSISP), Spain.
Also given previously at the Dep. of Statistics, in the pre-docs
seminar cicles, in Nov 10, 2010.
A review of some of the most useful tools that I have found, for everyday work in Research. Some of these tools are software, some other are web services, but they all make our work easier, faster, more organized, or simply better. They are categorized into four groups: tools aimed at Production, Collaboration, Management and Synchronization. I expect that participants will also share their own tools, tips and tricks that they have found helpful.
