A Heuristic Bayesian Approach to Knowledge Acquisition: Application to Analysis of Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator

This addresses the need for accessible statistical methods in medical technology assessment, but it appears incremental as it builds upon existing Bayesian and influence diagram techniques.

The paper tackled the problem of computing probability distributions from experimental data in medical technology assessment, resulting in a method that facilitates integration of results from different studies and allows medical experts to make assessments without extensive statistical training.
