Probability All The Way Up ( Or No Probability At All )
نویسنده
چکیده
Richard Jeffrey’s radical probabilism (‘probability all the way down’) is augmented by the claim that probability cannot be turned into certainty, except by data that logically exclude all alternatives. This claim is illustrated in frequentist language by an infinite nesting of confidence levels, and in Bayesian language by means of Jeffrey’s updating of odds.

Modeling Leukemia in Children Using Phase-type Distribution
Background: In this study, with the aim of modeling Leukemia in children using Phase-type distribution, three transitional phases including diagnosis, brain metastasis and testis/ovary metastasis, and one absorotion phase of recovery/death have been considered. The distribution was fitted and the probabilities of death or recovery were determined based on the independent variab...
متن کاملEffect of Different Moisture Regimes and Super-Adsorbent Zeolite on Yield and Yield Components of linseed
In order to study the effect of natural zeolite superabsorbent on yield and yield components of linseed under different moisture regimes, a split plot experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications at Research Farm of Shahrekord University, Shahrekord, Iran in 2017. The main factor in four moisture regimes included irrigation after 50 (control), 80, 130 and 1...
متن کاملEstimating Reliability in Mobile ad-hoc Networks Based on Monte Carlo Simulation (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Each system has its own definition of reliability. Reliability in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) could be interpreted as, the probability of reaching a message from a source node to destination, successfully. The variability and volatility of the MANET configuration makes typical reliability methods (e.g. reliability block diagram) inappropriate. It is because, no single structure or configurat...
متن کاملDetermining the Likelihood of Damage in Concrete and its Physical Structure
Applying renormalization group theory to evaluate the safety of overall structure, local damage probability must be obtained at first. According to the results of unit detection test and numerical simulation, the methods how to determine local damage probability was presented in the paper. For small unit, meaning the unit size is far less than the maximum primitive cell or the structure size, i...
متن کاملWeber's law orthogonal to the psychometric function
Psychometric function plots the percentage of the correct responses among an entire pool of responses (cumulative probability) in a psychophysical task versus the amount of change in an independent variable. These changes in the independent variable are made with reference to a constant initial value. If this initial value is altered, the psychometric function will change according to Weber’s l...
