This paper proposes to use a rather new statistical approach in the realm of solar radiation modelling namely Bayesian inference. In this work, the theory of Bayesian inference will be presented at length. The Bayesian analysis consists in two levels. The first one is related to the parameter...

This work aims at assessing the performances of four models for their relative merits in estimating diffuse solar radiation on tilted planes for a southern location (Reunion Island). This comparative study benefits from a sound and consistent experimental set-up and is more detailed than the...
