The Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) is a popular method for approximate Bayesian inference. This book provides an introduction to the underlying INLA methodology and practical guidance on how to fit different models with R-INLA and R. This covers a wide range of applications, such as multilevel models, spatial models and survival
