Electron temperature and density profiles consistent with JET high resolution Thomson scattering (HRTS) and far infrared (FIR) interferometer data are inferred by a Bayesian joint model using Gaussian processes. Forward models predicting diagnostic data including instrument effects such as optics and electronics are developed independently for both diagnostic systems in the Minerva framework, and combined as one joint model. The full joint posterior distribution of the electron temperature and density profiles, the hyperparameters of the Gaussian processes and calibration factor is explored by Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling. The posterior distribution of the electron density (temperature) profile is obtained by marginalising all the possible combinations of the electron temperature (density) profile, the hyperparameters and calibration factor. Therefore, the method removes profile dependency on the hyperparameters completely in addition to eliminating often-used avoidable constraints such as monotonicity and parametrisation on the profiles. The posterior distribution of the calibration factor is also calculated explaining both the HRTS and the FIR interferometer data simultaneously. Thus, absolute electron density can be obtained from the HRTS without additional experiments measuring the calibration factor.
