R-INLA package Disease mapping in Germany
Disease mapping • Larynx cancer mortality count in Germany, 1986 to 1990 • Spatial resolution: 544 regions
BYM Model • For each region: • Assume the data to be conditionally independent Poisson random variables: • Linear predictor:
Linear predictor • Intercept term • Linear effects of the level of smoking consumption covariate • Unstructured spatial effect, i.i.d. for each region i. • Structured spatial effect, modelled as IGMRF.
Functions of the INLA package • f ( ) : Helps defining non linear effects in the model specification. • inla ( ) : Performs a Bayesian analysis of additive models as well as specify likelihood distribution. • summary ( ) : Produces a summary of the main results from a fitted model. • plot ( ) : Produces some plots from the fitted model.
