“…The generality of R-INLA comes with a prize of complexity for the user, hence a simplified interface for a restricted set of models can be useful to improve accessibility for a specific target audience or provide additional tools that are mainly relevant for these models. Examples of such projects, are AnimalINLA (Holand et al, 2013), ShrinkBayes (Van De Wiel et al, 2013a,b, 2014Riebler et al, 2014), meta4diag , BAPC (Riebler and Held, 2016), diseasemapping and geostatp (Brown, 2015), and Bivand et al (2015). Similarly, the excursions package for calculating joint exceedance probabilities in GMRFs Lindgren, 2015, 2016) includes an interface to analyse LGMs estimated by R-INLA.…”
