摘要: Weight of evidence (WOE) frameworks for integrating and interpreting multiple lines are discussed, focusing on sediment quality assessments, introducing a series ten papers WOE. Approaches to WOE include individual (LOE) as well combined LOE (indices, statistical summarization, logic systems, scoring best professional judgment [BPJ]). The application WOE, based LOE, is discussed relative the published literature. Fully implementing requires consideration six main in (or other assessments); these generally correspond causality considerations including Koch's Postulates. However, issue stability an additional consideration, use tabular decision matrices recommended system address described by others “analogy”, “plausibility”, or “logical scientific sense.” Three examples determinations Sediment Quality Triad ...
