Research projects of Rasmus Waagepetersen

My main research interests are spatial statistics, image analysis and Markov chain Monte Carlo. I have also some interest in generalized linear mixed models. Currently I am especially interested in socalled MALA algorithms for simulation of posterior distributions in Bayesian analysis of spatial generalized linear mixed models (see also the paper on log Gaussian Cox processes on my  list of publications ) Together with Ole F. Christensen and Jesper Møller, Aalborg University I will soon finish a manuscript "Analysis of spatial data using generalized linear mixed models and Langevin-type Markov chain Monte Carlo".

A paper (see  list of publications ) on non- and semi-parametric analysis of interaction in inhomogeneous point patterns has recently been accepted for publication in Statistica Neerlandica. Markov chain Monte Carlo is used in this paper to carry out the calculations for the semi-parametric inference.

My Ph.D.-thesis contains a number of papers and research reports on prior models in Bayesian image analysis and related issues (see  the list of publications ). It also contains  work on spatial Cox processes driven by a log Gaussian intensity surface.
