Assessing evidence and testing appropriate hypotheses.
It is crucial to identify the most appropriate hypotheses if one is to apply probabilistic reasoning to evaluate and properly understand the impact of evidence. Subtle changes to the choice of a prosecution hypothesis can result in drastically different posterior probabilities to a defence hypothesis from the same evidence. To illustrate the problem we consider a real case in which probabilisti...
متن کاملEvidence for Alternative Hypotheses
Most researchers want evidence for the direction of an effect, not evidence against a point null hypothesis. Such evidence is ideally on a scale that is easily interpretable, with an accompanying standard error. Further, the evidence from identical experiments should be repeatable, and evidence from independent experiments should be easily combined, such as required in meta-analysis. Such a mea...
متن کاملAssessing hypotheses about nesting site occupancy dynamics.
Hypotheses about habitat selection developed in the evolutionary ecology framework assume that individuals, under some conditions, select breeding habitat based on expected fitness in different habitat. The relationship between habitat quality and fitness may be reflected by breeding success of individuals, which may in turn be used to assess habitat quality. Habitat quality may also be assesse...
متن کاملMultiple Hypotheses Multiple Levels Object Tracking
This paper presents an object tracking system. Our goal is to create a real-time object tracker that can handle occlusions, track multiple objects that are rigid or deformable, and on indoor or outdoor sequences. This system is composed of two main modules: motion detection and object tracking. Motion detection is achieved using an improved Gaussian mixture model. Based on multiple hypothesis o...
متن کاملRhythm Tracking Using Multiple Hypotheses
We briefly describe two rhythm-tracking systems, called, respectively, Machine Rhythm and BTS. Given a MIDI stream as input, Machine Rhythm produces an interpretation that is essentially isomorphic to the rhythmic information represented in normal musical notation. The output of the program defines the placement of measures and assigns rhythmic values (half-note beats, quarter-note beats, etc.)...
