A very practical application of Bayes's theorem, for the analysis of binomial random variables, is presented. Previous papers (Walters, 1985; Walters, 1986a) have already demonstrated the reliability of the technique for one, or two random variables, and the extension of the approach to several random variables is described. Two biometrical examples are used to illustrate the method.
