The sources of cosmic rays and the physics responsible for their acceleration and propagation are not yet well understood. This lack of theoretical understanding has both physical and astrophysical implications. While cosmic rays are astrophysical in origin and can reveal a vast amount of information about our cosmos, factual discernment of their interactions as particles or nuclei may identify missing links in the standard model of elementary particles and unveil new physics at the smallest scales. Indeed, a host of published theories pertaining to elementary particles and quantum fields hinge on the correct interpretation of cosmic-ray data. Appreciable advances in cosmic-ray studies may therefore lead to fundamental discoveries in physics. However they can only be attained if the statistical analysis, which is often hampered by the paucity of the data, is carried out properly. In this talk we discuss major open questions in spectral studies of the observed low-count cosmic-ray data, and apply Bayesian techniques to obtain answers to a sample of them.
