Abstract Near-repeat victimization patterns have made predictive models for burglaries possible. While the been implemented in different countries, results obtained not always line with initial expectations; to point where their real effectiveness has called into question. The ability predict crime improve preventive policing strategies is still under study. This study aims discover limitations...

The prediction of spatial and temporal variation soil water content brings numerous benefits in the studies soil. However, it requires a considerable number covariates to be included study, complicating analysis. Integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA) with stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) methodology is possible approach that allows inclusion an easy way. current study h...
