Comment on “Bayesian additional evidence for decision making under small sample uncertainty”

Pawel, Samuel; Held, Leonhard; Matthews, Robert (2022). Comment on “Bayesian additional evidence for decision making under small sample uncertainty”. BMC Medical Research Methodology, 22:149.

Abstract

We examine the concept of Bayesian Additional Evidence (BAE) recently proposed by Sondhi et al. We derive simple closed-form expressions for BAE and compare its properties with other methods for assessing findings in the light of new evidence. We find that while BAE is easy to apply, it lacks both a compelling rationale and clarity of use needed for reliable decision-making.
