Multivariate Bayesian spatio-temporal P-spline models to analyze crimes against women

Gonzalo Vicente et al.

Summary: Multivariate spatio-temporal P-spline models are proposed to study different forms of violence against women. The models improve estimation precision and allow for computation of correlations, aiding in a thorough understanding of this issue affecting millions of women worldwide.

Bayesian spatio-temporal joint disease mapping of Covid-19 cases and deaths in local authorities of England

Sujit K. Sahu et al.

Summary: This article proposes a two-stage hierarchical Bayesian model to analyze the Covid-19 pandemic data, which can jointly model the weekly observed cases and deaths in different local administrative regions. The model is able to detect possible changes in death rates in neighboring areas and evaluate the effects of socioeconomic and environmental covariates on case and death rates.

Quantifying the small-area spatio-temporal dynamics of the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland during a period with limited testing capacity

Duncan Lee et al.

Summary: Modelling the small-area spatio-temporal dynamics of the Covid-19 pandemic is crucial for public health, especially when testing capacity is limited. This study analyzes telehealth data to estimate the dynamics of Covid-19 incidence at a small-area level in Scotland. The proposed multivariate spatio-temporal correlation model helps understand the spatial variation in the first wave of the pandemic.

A global panel database of pandemic policies (Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker)

Thomas Hale et al.

Summary: The Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) records data on 19 different government COVID-19 policy indicators for over 190 countries. Covering closure and containment, health and economics measures, it creates an evidence base for effective responses.
