A Note on Analysis and Circular Definitions
In some cases, even a whole theory may be regarded as a constituting an analysis. For example, Russell’s celebrated theory of definite descriptions may be viewed as an analysis of that formal concept which in natural language can be expressed by means of the definite article. Analyses are also called philosophical, real, or simply analyzing definitions. This is appropriate, since analyses are i...
متن کاملEntropy and Its Discontents: A Note on Definitions
The routine definitions of Shannon entropy for both discrete and continuous probability laws show inconsistencies that make them not reciprocally coherent. We propose a few possible modifications of these quantities so that 1) they no longer show incongruities, 2) they go one into the other in a suitable limit as the result of a renormalization. The properties of the new quantities would slight...
متن کاملA note on similarity-based definitions of possibility and probability
Probability theory is a rigorous theory which rests on a firm foundation. The brilliant successes of probability theory are visible to all. What is problematical relates to the basic question: What is probability? There are many answers but no unanimity. What is suggested in this note are definitions of possibility and probability which are based on fuzzy logic. More concretely, the definitions...
متن کاملA Note on ∆ lnL = � 12 Errors
The points at which the log likelihood falls by 1 2 from its maximum value are often used to give the ‘errors’ on a result, i.e. the 68% central confidence interval. The validity of this is examined for two simple cases: a lifetime measurement and a Poisson measurement. Results are compared with the exact Neyman construction and with the simple Bartlett approximation. It is shown that the accur...
متن کاملMore on Components : Working Note 12
This working note aims to develop the ideas of our earlier AAAI’97 paper [Clark and Porter, 1997] into a more coherent implementation framework. We would like to reach the stage where building and linking components becomes a routine task, but this requires a concrete description of what a component data structure looks like and how it would be used. This document aims to do this, adding in som...
