Recent Developments in Bayesian Statistics for Interpretation of Bioassay Data

• A 2006 paper, Bayesian Decision Threshold, Detection Limit and Confidence Limits in Ionising-radiation Measurement by Weise et al. (Rolf Michel is the corresponding author) illustrates the future of Bayesian statistical methods in counting statistics. In an archived 2007 presentation mostly in English, Dr. Michel does a full-blown treatment of a Bayesian analysis of a wipe test.
• Thomas M. Semkow wrote "Bayesian Inference from the Binomial and Poisson Processes for Multiple Sampling" (Chapter 24) in (Semkow TM, SM Jerome, S Pommé, and DJ Strom, Eds. 2006. Applied Modeling and Computations in Nuclear Science. ACS Symposium Series, No. 945. American Chemical Society, Oxford.). This well-researched chapter formally treats the Bayesian counting problems using a variety of prior probability distributions.
