		| Abstract: | 
		I summarize the tools of Bayesian theory for inference that are recently being applied to
 extract information from spectro-polarimetric data obtained with the most
 advanced instruments. I present the machinery to carry out inference, model comparison
 and model averaging, together with some illustrative examples, with the hope that the power of 
 these techniques help us solve some of the problems inherent to the inference of the physical
 properties of the solar plasma from noisy spectro-polarimetric observations. |
