  We exploit the 14 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with known redshifts $z$ and the 7
GRBs for which there are constraints on $z$ to determine the GRB rate $R_{\rm
GRB}(z)$, using a method based on Bayesian inference. We find that, despite the
qualitative differences between the observed GRB rate and estimates of the SFR
in the universe, current data are consistent with $R_{\rm GRB}(z)$ being
proportional to the SFR.
