Bayesian Prediction of Spatial Count Data Using Generalized Linear Mixed Models

Abstract
Summary. Spatial weed count data are modeled and predicted using a generalized linear mixed model combined with a Bayesian approach and Markov chain Monte Carlo. Informative priors for a data set with sparse sampling are elicited using a previously collected data set with extensive sampling. Furthermore, we demonstrate that so‐called Langevin‐Hastings updates are useful for efficient simulation of the posterior distributions, and we discuss computational issues concerning prediction.
