From Objective Amplitudes to Bayesian Probabilities
We review the Consistent Amplitude approach to Quantum Theory and argue that quantum probabilities are explicitly Bayesian. In this approach amplitudes are tools for inference. They codify objective information about how complicated experimental setups are put together from simpler ones. Thus, probabilities may be partially subjective but the amplitudes are not.
متن کاملApproximating model probabilities in Bayesian information criterion and decision-theoretic approaches to model selection in phylogenetics.
A priori selection of models for use in phylogeny estimation from molecular sequence data is increasingly important as the number and complexity of available models increases. The Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and the derivative decision-theoretic (DT) approaches rely on a conservative approximation to estimate the posterior probability of a given model. Here, we extended the DT method b...
متن کاملPrior-free Inference for Objective Bayesian Analysis and Model Selection
A new approach to Bayesian inference, named the prior-free inference, is introduced for developing objective Bayesian analysis based on information-theoretic approach. This new approach is essentially a Bayesian method but it does not depend on a prior distribution for unknown parameters. Thus, this approach not only has the advantages of the Bayesian approach but also can avoid the difficulty,...
متن کاملQuantization of Prior Probabilities in Bayesian Group Decision-Making
In Bayesian hypothesis testing, a decision is made based on a prior probability distribution over the hypotheses, an observation with a known conditional distribution given the true hypothesis, and an assignment of costs to different types of errors. In a setting with multiple agents and the principle of “one person, one vote”, the decisions of agents are typically combined by the majority rule...
متن کاملObjective Probabilities
The common distinction between probabilities that can be based on frequencies known to hold in a sequence of repeatable events, and probabilities that concern unique events, and that therefore must be based on subjective opinion, is argued to be misguided. All events are in some relevant sense "unique", and, more importantly, all events can in a relevant sense be placed in classes of similar ev...
