We model the log-cumulative baseline hazard for the Cox model via Bayesian, monotonic P-splines. This approach permits fast computation, accounting for arbitrary censorship and the inclusion of nonparametric effects. We leverage the computational efficiency to simplify effect interpretation for...

We propose a fast approximate Metropolis-Hastings algorithm for large data sets embedded in a design based approach. Here, the loglikelihood ratios involved in the Metropolis-Hastings acceptance step are considered as data. The building block is one single subsample from the complete data set,...

Existing nationwide population projections focus on highly aggregated spatial units. The most regionalized nationwide study is provided by the German Federal Institute for Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Research (BBSR) and predicts population on county level up to 2035 (BBSR 2015)....

[Einleitung ...] In dem vorliegenden Projektbericht soll im Auftrag der kassenärztlichen Bundesvereinigung (KBV) die zur Bedarfsdeckung erforderliche räumliche Verteilung von festen Einrichtungen des ärztlichen Bereitschaftsdienstes zur Versorgung von ambulanten Notfallpatienten untersucht...

[ 1. Arbeitsmarktregionen als funktionale Raumeinheit ] Arbeitsmarktregionen sind eine regionale Einheit, die in sich wirtschaftlich stark verflochtene aber nach außen hin weitgehend unabhängige Räume darstellen. Grundsätzlich sollen in den funktional gefassten Regionen Arbeits- und Wohnorte...

We study the regional distribution of primary care physicians in Germany to learn about the extent and possible reasons of geographic maldistribution. For this aim, we apply a greedy capacitated algorithm on very fine spatial data. We compare this reference allocation of primary care physicians...
