Bayesian inference, predictive coding and delusions
This paper considers psychotic symptoms in terms of false inferences or beliefs. It is based on the notion that the brain is an organ of inference that actively constructs hypotheses to explain or predict its sensations. This perspective provides a normative (Bayes optimal) account of action and perception that emphasises probabilistic representations; in particular, the confidence or precision...
متن کاملA neural implementation of Bayesian inference based on predictive coding
Predictive coding is a leading theory of cortical function that has previously been shown to explain a great deal of neurophysiological and psychophysical data. Here it is shown that predictive coding can perform almost exact Bayesian inference when applied to computing with population codes. It is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm, based on predictive coding, can: decode probability dis...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Predictive Inference and Bootstrap Techniques
Abst rac t . We address the question as to whether a prior distribution on the space of distribution functions exists which generates the posterior produced by Efron's and Rubin's bootstrap techniques, emphasizing the connections with the Dirichlet process. We also introduce a new resampling plan which has two advantages: prior opinions are taken into account and the predictive distribution of ...

This paper reviews Bayesian Nonparametric methods and discusses how parametric predictive densities can be constructed using nonparametric ideas.
متن کاملPredictive inference: From Bayesian inference to Imprecise Probability
INTRODUCTION 2 The " Bag of marbles " example " Bag of marbles " problems (Walley, 1996) • " I have. .. a closed bag of coloured marbles. I intend to shake the bag, to reach into it and to draw out one marble. What is the probability that I will draw a red marble? " • " Suppose that we draw a sequence of marbles whose colours are (in order): blue, green, blue, blue, green, red.
