Scalable Spatially Varying Coefficient Models with Global-Deviation Spike-and-Slab Group Lasso

This paper proposes an SSGL method that decomposes spatially varying coefficients into global effects and selectable spatial deviations, accurately identifies which predictors require spatial variation, and improves estimation efficiency and computation relative to Bayesian spatial competitors, while simultaneous uncertainty calibration for highly localized effects remains challenging.

Semiparametric Latent ANOVA Model for Event-Related Potentials

We propose a semiparametric latent ANOVA model (SLAM) that unifies inference on ERP components and their association to covariates. SLAM modelsERP waveforms via a structured Gaussian process prior that encodes ERP latency in its derivative and links the subject-level latencies to covariates using a latent ANOVA.
