Substack commenter on Bayesian analysis of COVID-19 origins
Seems to me a complete Bayesian treatment would require explicit probability assessments, or at least sensitivity tests, for the full sequence [...] I can't see how a full Bayesian analysis wouldn't integrate, or at least sensitivity-test, these behavioral probabilities explicitly, in the same way you handle other noisy data.
