Bayesian Spatial Semi-Parametric Modeling of HIV Variation in Kenya
Spatial statistics has seen rapid application in many fields, especially epidemiology and public health. Many studies, nonetheless, make limited use of the geographical location information and also usually assume that the covariates, which are related to the response variable, have linear effects. We develop a Bayesian semi-parametric regression model for HIV prevalence data. Model estimation ...
متن کاملSemi-Parametric Spatial Joint Modeling of HIV and HSV-2 among Women in Kenya
Several diseases have common risk factors. The joint modeling of disease outcomes within a spatial statistical context may provide more insight on the interaction of diseases both at individual and at regional level. Spatial joint modeling allows for studying of the relationship between diseases and also between regions under study. One major approach for joint spatial modeling is the multivari...
متن کاملBayesian Semi-Parametric Modeling of Time-to-Event Data
Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. The multiresolution estimator, originally a wavelet-based method for density estimation, was recently extended for estimation of hazard functions. The multiresolution hazard (MRH) metho...
متن کاملmapping spatial variation of disease using classic and bayesian models
abstract disease mapping includes a set of statistical techniques that lead to provide clean maps based on estimation of the incidence, prevalence and mortality rates for the users to be able to estimate the distribution of disease reliably. the main aims of disease mapping are to: describe the spatial variation in disease incidence for the formulation of etiological hypotheses; identify area...
متن کاملNon-parametric Bayesian modeling of complex networks
Modeling structure in complex networks using Bayesian non-parametrics makes it possible to specify flexible model structures and infer the adequate model complexity from the observed data. This paper provides a gentle introduction to non-parametric Bayesian modeling of complex networks: Using an infinite mixture model as running example we go through the steps of deriving the model as an infini...
