“…Such prior information, such as historical data, is naturally integrated in the Bayesian paradigm, where analysts may specify a prior distribution for what evidence they possess prior to the analysis of the data. Bayesian methods for incorporating historical data have been used or proposed in wide a variety of statistical applications including, but not limited to, epidemiology [Warasi et al, 2016], political science [Isakov and Kuriwaki, 2020], engineering [Lorencin and Pantoš, 2017], spatial applications [Louzada et al, 2021], small area estimation [Young and Chen, 2022], and psychology [König et al, 2021].…”
