Connecting grouchymusicologist's comment, Carrier showed his work on Bayes' Theorem for historians to C. Behan McCullagh and McCullagh responded well to it. (McCullagh has thus far not used a Bayesian approach to historical method.)

I had lunch with Carrier recently and his first of two books on Bayes' Theorem for historians is in progress for publication with Prometheus Press.
