TL;DR:
Toll-like receptor 4 is protective for C57BL/10 but detrimental to BALB/c mice, since its absence allowed C 57BL/ 10 but not BALB /c mice to lose alveolar bone.

Modeling longitudinal spatial periodontal data: A spatially adaptive model with tools for specifying priors and checking fit
BIOMETRICS, 64(3), 790–799.
author keywords: conditional autoregressive prior; disease monitoring; nonstationarity; periodontal data; spatiotemporal data
MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Biometry / methods; Cross-Sectional Studies; Humans; Longitudinal Studies; Models, Dental; Models, Statistical; Periodontal Attachment Loss / pathology; Periodontal Diseases / diagnosis; Periodontal Diseases / etiology; Periodontal Diseases / pathology; Periodontics / statistics & numerical data; Regression Analysis
TL;DR:
A nonstationary spatiotemporal CAR model is developed that allows the degree of spatial and temporal smoothing to vary in different regions of the mouth and proposes a heuristic to measure the complexity of the site‐specific variances.

Simultaneous Factor Selection and Collapsing Levels in ANOVA
Bondell, H. D., & Reich, B. J. (2009, March). BIOMETRICS, Vol. 65, pp. 169–177.
author keywords: ANOVA; Grouping; Multiple comparisons; Oracle property; Shrinkage; Variable selection
MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Biometry / methods; Computer Simulation; Data Interpretation, Statistical; Models, Theoretical; Regression Analysis
TL;DR:
A novel constrained regression approach to simultaneously accomplish both goals via shrinkage within a single automated procedure is proposed, which has the ability to collapse levels within a factor by setting their effects to be equal, while also achieving factor selection by zeroing out entire factors.

Spatial-temporal association between fine particulate matter and daily mortality
COMPUTATIONAL STATISTICS & DATA ANALYSIS, 53(8), 2989–3000.
TL;DR:
A statistical multi-stage Bayesian framework is developed and implemented that provides a very broad, flexible approach to studying the spatiotemporal associations between mortality and population exposure to daily PM(2.5) mass, while accounting for different sources of uncertainty.

Identitication of the variance components in the general two-variance linear model
JOURNAL OF STATISTICAL PLANNING AND INFERENCE, 138(6), 1592–1604.
author keywords: conditional autoregressive prior; hierarchical models; identification; mixed linear model; variance components
TL;DR:
This paper introduces the class of two-variance hierarchical linear models and characterize the aspects of these models that lead to well-identified or poorly identified variances, and suggests a diagnostic that can be used to search for missing spatially varying fixed effects in the CAR model.

Simultaneous regression shrinkage, variable selection, and supervised clustering of predictors with OSCAR
BIOMETRICS, 64(1), 115–123.
author keywords: correlation; penalization; predictive group; regression; shrinkage; supervised clustering; variable selection
MeSH headings : Algorithms; Artificial Intelligence; Biometry / methods; Cluster Analysis; Computer Simulation; Data Interpretation, Statistical; Epidemiologic Methods; Models, Biological; Models, Statistical; Regression Analysis
TL;DR:
A new method called the OSCAR (octagonal shrinkage and clustering algorithm for regression) is proposed to simultaneously select variables while grouping them into predictive clusters, in addition to improving prediction accuracy and interpretation.

A spatial analysis of basketball shot chart data
AMERICAN STATISTICIAN, 60(1), 3–12.
author keywords: Bayesian; conditionally autoregressive prior; sports
TL;DR:
H hierarchical spatial models are developed for shot-chart data, which allow for spatially varying effects of covariates and permit differential smoothing of the fitted surface in two spatial directions, which naturally correspond to polar coordinates.
