As mentioned above, climate scenarios that are developed for impacts applications usually require that some estimate of climate change be combined with baseline observational climate data, and the demand for more complete and sophisticated observational data sets of climate has grown in recent years.

Climate scenarios based on model estimates of future climate can be constructed either by adopting the direct model outputs or by combining model estimates of the changed climate with observational climate data.

In physical sciences, where an OLS regression model with normally distributed errors is validly used to estimate a slope parameter between two variables with observational data, errors in the regressor variable contributing a small part of the total uncertainty, it is usual to accept the uniform prior in the slope parameter (here Y) implied by the regression model.
