Use cases for Bayes in scattering

As a primer for discussion we will try to cover a few more SAS cases as well as other scattering techniques (particularly spectroscopy)

Wrap/up

Items discussed at the meeting:

1. Bayesian statistics to optimize experiments i.e. when do I have good statistics to stop measuring?
2. How to treat variables correlations
3. Resolution functions for small angle scattering
4. Bayesian model comparison (how to select good model for fitting)
