Generalized additive models (GAM) for modeling nonlinear effects of continuous covariates are now well established tools for the applied statistician. A Bayesian version of GAM’s and extensions to… (More)
SUMMARY There has been much recent interest in Bayesian inference for generalized additive and related models. The increasing popularity of Bayesian methods for these and other model classes is… (More)

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the standard technology in human brain mapping. Analyses of the massive spatio–temporal fMRI data sets often focus on parametric or… (More)
Generalized additive models have become a widely used instrument for flexible regression analysis. In many practical situations, however, it is desirable to restrict the flexibility of nonparametric… (More)
This tutorial demonstrates the usage of BayesX for analysing Bayesian semiparametric regression models based on mixed model methodology. As an example we consider data on undernutrition of children… (More)
