Summary
Data analysis employing Bayesian probability theory constitutes one of the IPP contributions to the inter-institutional collaboration "Centre for Interdisciplinary Plasma Science" (IPP/MPE). The goal of this project is the optimal solution of ill conditioned or even underdetermined inverse problems. From the spectrum of activities we present examples from the field of plasma physics, astronomy and climatology.
