• Bayesian models could be a natural extension of mechanistic and statistical models for nanoinformatics practitioners to master in solving complex nanotechnology challenges. Keywords: decision analysis; nanoinformatics; policy; portfolio analysis; risk assessment; value of information; weight of evidence

• , WOE, and PDA, as described here, can help to sort through and organize the vast nanomaterial data to inform both current choices and the prioritization of future nanomaterial research. These techniques focus the attention of researchers and policy makers toward what is most relevant to their decisions
