The development of Statistics shows growing importance of Bayesian Inference. Especially in applications where all available information has to be used the Bayesian paradigm is superior by the possibility of using expert information in the measurable form of a-priori distributions. Different inference techniques for “Regional- and Information Statistics” are pointed out where Bayesian methods are of advantage compared with classical statistical inference.
