A Thermodynamical Approach for Probability Estimation
The issue of discrete probability estimation for samples of small size is addressed in this study. The maximum likelihood method often suffers overfitting when insufficient data is available. Although the Bayesian approach can avoid overfitting by using prior distributions, it still has problems with objective analysis. In response to these drawbacks, a new theoretical framework based on thermo...
متن کاملWhat is the Real Cause of Glaucoma?
Introduction: The term glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that have a characteristic optic neuropathy with associated visual field loss in common. Intraocular pressure has been considered to be the only causal factor for glaucoma and the only factor that can be manipulated to alter the course of the disease. But considering high intraocular pressure as the only factor responsible for glauco...
متن کاملThermodynamical scaling of the glass transition dynamics.
Classification of glass-forming liquids based on the dramatic change in their properties upon approach to the glassy state is appealing, since this is the most conspicuous and often-studied aspect of the glass transition. Herein, we show that a generalized scaling, log (tau) proportional, variant T-1 V-gamma, where gamma is a material constant, yields superpositioning for ten glass formers, enc...
متن کاملWhat is Probability ?
What is probability? Physicists, mathematicians, and philosophers have been engaged with this question since well before the rise of modern physics. But in quantum mechanics, where probabilities are associated only with measurements, the question strikes to the heart of other foundational problems: what distinguishes measurements from other physical processes? Or in more formal terms: when are ...
متن کاملWhat is the plausibility of probability?
We present and examine a result related to uncertainty reasoning, namely that a certain plausibility measure of Cox’s type can be uniquely embedded in a minimal ordered field. This, although a purely mathematical result, can be claimed to imply that every rational method to reason with uncertainty must be based on sets of extended probability distributions, where extended probability is standar...
