Course content

We begin with an introduction how to add dependency to regression models using frequentist tools. After discussing the limitations of this approach we switch to Bayesian techniques. R-INLA is used to implement regression models, generalised linear models (GLM), and generalised linear mixed-effects models (GLMM) with spatial dependency.

We will also explain how to deal with dependency around islands and fjords (barrier models). We will use geostatistical data and areal data.

All exercises are executed in R-INLA.
