In this study, we measure jointly the labour and the residential accessibility of a basic spatial unit using a Bayesian Poisson gravity model with spatial effects. The accessibility measures are broken down into two components: the attractiveness component, which is related to its socio-economic...

Bayesian inference for stochastic volatility models using MCMC methods highly depends on actual parameter values in terms of sampling efficiency. While draws from the posterior utilizing the standard centered parameterization break down when the volatility of volatility parameter in the latent...

Data, collected to model risk of an interesting event, often have a multilevel structure as patients are clustered within larger units, e.g. clinical centers. Risk of the event is usually modeled using a logistic regression model, with a random intercept to control for heterogeneity among...
