We describe Bayesian approaches to examination of HWE based on Bayes factors for testing, and scrutiny of posterior distributions for interpretation. The discreteness of the sample space causes no complications for the Bayesian approach because all inference is conditional on the configuration of observed counts so there is no need to consider hypothetical data realizations.
