inlabru facilitates spatial modeling using integrated nested Laplace approximation via the INLA package

The inlabru R package is was initially developed as part of a research project entitled “Modelling spatial distribution and change from wildlife survey data”, which is  funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, to develop and implement innovative methods to model spatial distribution and change from ecological survey data.  It involved developing Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) methods for fitting realistically complex spatial models to data obtained from surveys on which the probability of detecting population members is unknown.
