Abstract

We present an improved update scheme for the Linearized Bayesian Update procedure (LBUP). The revised procedure extends the application of the LBUP to a large number of observables. The consistent update of dozens of millions of observables becomes manageable by circumventing the costly calculation of the prior covariance matrix. Nuclear data evaluations based on the revised scheme may exhaustively enclose all differential and angle-integrated channels, treating all correlations between them exactly in the update procedure.
