Inferential Scattering
Some di cult conceptual problems that have plagued Statistical Mechanics from the start, are explained by reference to a very simple experiment, which also explains why the MAXENT formalism gives reliable predictions. Then some of the inner workings of MAXENT are revealed by a general perturbation theorem, showing how a prediction is modi ed by adding a new constraint. It is illustrated by the ...
متن کاملInferential Intensionality
The paper is a study of properties of quasi-consequence operation which is a key notion of the so-called inferential approach in the theory of sentential calculi established in [5].The principal motivation behind the quasi-consequence, q-consequence for short, stems from the mathematical practice which treats some auxiliary assumptions as mere hypotheses rather than axioms and their further occ...
متن کاملInferential Models
Probability is a useful tool for describing uncertainty, so it is natural to strive for a system of statistical inference based on probabilities for or against various hypotheses. But existing probabilistic inference methods struggle to provide a meaningful interpretation of the probabilities across experiments in sufficient generality. In this paper we further develop a promising new approach ...
متن کاملInferential confusion in obsessive-compulsive disorder: the inferential confusion questionnaire.
The current article represents the further validation of the construct of inferential confusion amongst clinical samples. Inferential confusion is proposed to be a meta-cognitive confusion particularly relevant to obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) that leads a person to confuse an imagined possibility with an actual probability. As such, it conceptualizes OCD as a form of belief disorder simi...
متن کاملConditionals and inferential connections: A hypothetical inferential theory
Intuition suggests that for a conditional to be evaluated as true, there must be some kind of connection between its component clauses. In this paper, we formulate and test a new psychological theory to account for this intuition. We combined previous semantic and psychological theorizing to propose that the key to the intuition is a relevance-driven, satisficing-bounded inferential connection ...
