Bayesian model estimates measurement uncertainties in counting processes, suggesting improved accuracy in data collection.

This research aims to develop a Bayesian model to evaluate uncertainties in counting measurements.
Proposes a discrete likelihood function to model counting errors
Derives the posterior probability mass function for certain prior distributions
Incorporates prior information about the measurand and existing knowledge on counting errors
The Bayesian model provides corrected measurand estimates
Accompanies estimates with appropriate measurement uncertainties
Demonstrates improved accuracy in handling counting errors

Pennecchi et al. (2026) studied this question.
