General

Topics include INLA, Bayesian modeling, the SPDE approach, and spatial/temporal modeling.

The identifier for a topic is BTopicXYZ, where the XYZ comes in chronological order. The goal is that each webpage is product tested by more than one reviewer, it is then noted as “Finished”. This goal will almost never be reached. So I put the quality level and the dates of last edit.

Quality levels

Draft: Not recommended for reading. The idea is there but the execution is poor, or not checked.

OK webpage: A suitable version 1. Checked for errors.

Good webpage: Carefully checked for coding or mathematical errors and spell-checked.

Product tested: Tested and checked by at least one person (other than me).

Final: Tested on several people, statisticians and applied practitioners. (Can still be updated with minor changes.)

Missing: Some webpages are removed from this list. They still exist (through direct links), but they are not of sufficient quality, or no longer needed.
