Abstract

The Bayesian statistical framework has a long history of being applied to a variety of disciplines and fields, ranging from medicine and population health to financial forecasting—owing to the development of computational approaches to implement it, such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo. Despite its many advantages, the time and computational burden required to achieve estimates of interest can be unreasonable, particularly when fitting complex models. Computational algorithm and software development have attempted to resolve the computational burden for Bayesian inference (Lunn et al., 2000), including the development of the integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) method.
