The goal of Bayesian [1] or integrated data analysis is to combine the information from a set of diagnostics providing complementary information in order to recover the best possible reconstruction of the actual state of the system subjected to measurement. [2][3] Like Function parametrization, this technique requires having a model to predict the measurement readings for any given state of the physical system; however, the handling of error propagation is more sophisticated with the Bayesian method, and additionally, it provides a systematic way to include prior knowledge into the analysis.
