We consider geostatistical models that allow the locations at which data are collected to be informative about the outcomes. A Bayesian approach is proposed, which models the locations using a log Gaussian Cox process, while modelling the outcomes conditionally on the locations as Gaussian with...

Translational development -- in the sense of translating a mature methodology from one area of application to another, evolving area -- is discussed for the use of <italic>benchmark doses</italic> in quantitative risk assessment. Illustrations are presented with traditional applications of the benchmark paradigm...
