If both methods can be applied, results from two methods may be combined in a statistical ensemble approach as follows:
The incidence rate obtained using method $i$ is assumed distributed Beta with shape and scale parameters
$a_i $\alpha_i + 1$ and
$b_i $\beta_i + 1$, respectively, and determined using the method of moments based on equation \ref{eqn:betamoments}: $I_i \sim
B(a_i B(\alpha_i + 1.
b_i \beta_i + 1)$ so that
\begin{align*}
Prob(x = \textrm{TB})= \int_{0}^{1} x
B(a_i,b_i) B(\alpha_i, \beta_i) dx =
\frac{a_i+1}{a_i+b_i+2} \frac{\alpha_i+1}{a_i+\beta_i+2}
\end{align*}
The combined probability is then expressed as
\begin{align*}
Prob(x = \textrm{TB}) =
\frac{\sum{a_i}+1}{\sum{a_i}+\sum{b_i}+2} \frac{\sum{\alpha_i}+1}{\sum{\alpha_i}+\sum{\beta_i}+2}
\end{align*}
