Bayesian analysis (BA) is a powerful statistical method for extracting properties of the equation of state (EoS) of dense nuclear matter from observational and experimental data. It is widely applied today to compact star EoS in combination with multi-messenger astronomy data. We classify two main BA approaches, each with their own advantages and shortcomings. I will present the main idea of the Polonez-BIS project which aims to further develop the BA method by integrating heavy-ion collision data into the analysis. Such a combined analysis will help to better constrain the knowledge of the EoS for superdense nuclear matter and the possibility of a phase transition to quark matter.
