Abstract

Bayesian statistical analysis technique adapted to the evaluation of cloud seeding experiments offers great advantages by enabling to determine not only the direction of the seeding effect but also its magnitude. Since the seeding experiments are carried out sequentially, the technique immensely helps in the decision analysis regarding the period, economics, environmental and social impacts of the experimentation. The technique is elucidated. Results of Indian cloud seeding experiments are computed with this technique and compared with those obtained from powerful classical statistical tests.
