In a hierarchical Bayesian expert system, the probabilities relating the variables are not known precisely; rather, imprecise knowledge of these probabilities is described by placing prior distributions on them. After obtaining data, one would like to update those distributions to reflect the new information gained; however, this can prove difficult computationally if the observed data are incomplete. This paper describes a way around these difficulties—use of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.
