"Nearest-Neighbor Mixture Models for Non-Gaussian Spatial Processes" by Xiaotian Zheng, Athanasios Kottas et al.

We develop a class of nearest-neighbor mixture models that provide direct, computationally efficient, probabilistic modeling for non-Gaussian geospatial data. The class is defined over a directed acyclic graph, which implies conditional independence in representing a multivariate distribution through factorization into a product of univariate conditionals, and is extended to a full spatial process. We model each conditional as a mixture of spatially varying transition kernels, with locally adaptive weights, for each one of a given number of nearest neighbors. The modeling framework emphasizes direct spatial modeling of non-Gaussian data, in contrast with approaches that introduce a spatial process for transformed data, or for functionals of the data probability distribution. We study model construction and properties analytically through specification of bivariate distributions that define the local transition kernels. This provides a general strategy for modeling different types of no ....

"Statistical Deep Learning for Spatial and Spatiotemporal Data" by Christopher K. Wikle and Andrew Zammit-Mangion

Deep neural network models have become ubiquitous in recent years and have been applied to nearly all areas of science, engineering, and industry. These models are particularly useful for data that have strong dependencies in space (e.g., images) and time (e.g., sequences). Indeed, deep models have also been extensively used by the statistical community to model spatial and spatiotemporal data through, for example, the use of multilevel Bayesian hierarchical models and deep Gaussian processes. In this review, we first present an overview of traditional statistical and machine learning perspectives for modeling spatial and spatiotemporal data, and then focus on a variety of hybrid models that have recently been developed for latent process, data, and parameter specifications. These hybrid models integrate statistical modeling ideas with deep neural network models in order to take advantage of the strengths of each modeling paradigm. We conclude by giving an overview of computational tec ....

Infectious disease modeling in a time of COVID-19 - PLOS ONE authors' perspectives


PLOS ONE,
PLOS Biology and
PLOS Computational Biology, on a variety of topics relevant to the modeling of infectious disease, such as disease spread, vaccination strategies and parameter estimation. As the world grappled with the effects of COVID-19 this year, the importance of accurate infectious disease modeling has become apparent. We therefore invited a few authors  featured in the Collection to give their perspectives on their research during this global pandemic. We caught up with Verrah Otiende (independent researcher, Pan African University Institute of Basic Sciences Technology and Innovation), Lauren White (USAID), Jess Liebig (CSIRO) and Johnny Whitman (The Ohio State University) to hear their reflections on this collection and the time that has passed. ....
