The combined consensus method uses a normalization scheme to calculate the initial consensus probabilities for search areas.  The initial consensus probabilities are then updated by probability of detection estimates from search efforts.  A Bayesian network is then used to update the consensus probabilities into new POA estimates.  

The combined consensus method calculator written with Microsoft Excel 2010 is available for download here.
