Bayesian Framework for Exoplanet Biosignatures: Integrating Exo-Earth System Models, Context, and False-Positive Diagnostics
To the point
A Bayesian framework combines observational data with Exo-Earth System models of a planet’s interior, oceans, climate, and atmosphere to estimate the probability that life exists there, while guarding against abiotic false positives and updating the assessment as new data become available.
