Natural frequencies improve Bayesian reasoning in simple and complex inference tasks
Representing statistical information in terms of natural frequencies rather than probabilities improves performance in Bayesian inference tasks. This beneficial effect of natural frequencies has been demonstrated in a variety of applied domains such as medicine, law, and education. Yet all the research and applications so far have been limited to situations where one dichotomous cue is used to ...
متن کاملSampling frames, Bayesian inference and inductive reasoning
We outline and test a Bayesian model of the effects of evidence sampling on property induction. Our model assumes that people are sensitive to the effects of different sampling frames applied to sampled evidence. Two studies tested the model by comparing property generalization following exposure to samples selected because they belong to the same taxonomic category or because they share a sali...

This paper reviews Bayesian Nonparametric methods and discusses how parametric predictive densities can be constructed using nonparametric ideas.
متن کاملExplicit Bayesian Reasoning with Frequencies, Probabilities, and Surprisals
To explore human deviations from Bayes’ rule in numerically explicit problems, prior and likelihood probabilities or frequencies are manipulated and their effects on posterior probabilities or surprisals are measured. Results show that people use both priors and likelihoods in Bayesian directions, but the effect of likelihood information is stronger than that of prior information. Use of freque...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Inference and Learning in Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks (BNs) are modern tools for modeling phenomena in dynamic and static systems and are used in different subjects such as disease diagnosis, weather forecasting, decision making and clustering. A BN is a graphical-probabilistic model which represents causal relations among random variables and consists of a directed acyclic graph and a set of conditional probabilities. Structure...
