Abstract
In this note we discuss (Gaussian) intrinsic conditional autoregressive (CAR) models for disconnected graphs, with the aim of providing practical guidelines for how these models should be defined, scaled and implemented. We show how these suggestions can be implemented in two examples, on disease mapping.Keywords: CAR models; Disconnected graph; Disease mapping; Gaussian Markov random fields; INLA; Islands
