This may seem a bit off-topic, but is 'Bayesian' pronounced "Bay-EE-shin", "BAY-zee-an", or "BAY-shin"?

The second is the best. The third has some popularity, but I don't like it because it disguises the morphology. The fellow's name was Bayes; the adjective should thus be Bayes-ian, not Baye-sian.
