Observer Theory, Bayes Theory, and Psychophysics
1. INTRODUCTION The search is on for a general theory of perception. As the papers in this volume indicate, many perceptual researchers now seek a conceptual framework and a general formalism to help them solve specific problems. One candidate framework is " observer theory " 1989a). This paper discusses observer theory, gives a sympathetic analysis of its candidacy , describes its relationship...
متن کاملProbability Theory without Bayes' Rule
Within the Kolmogorov theory of probability, Bayes’ rule allows one to perform statistical inference by relating conditional probabilities to unconditional probabilities. As we show here, however, there is a continuous set of alternative inference rules that yield the same results, and that may have computational or practical advantages for certain problems. We formulate generalized axioms for ...
متن کاملMultilayer neural networks and Bayes decision theory
There are many applications of multilayer neural networks to pattern classification problems in the engineering field. Recently, it has been shown that Bayes a posteriori probability can be estimated by feedforward neural networks through computer simulation. In this paper, Bayes decision theory is combined with the approximation theory on three-layer neural networks, and the two-category n-dim...
متن کاملA Biased View of PerceiversCommentary on ` Observer theory , Bayes theory
Commentary on`Observer theory, Bayes theory, and psychophysics,' by B. Bennett, et al. 1 Observers and Theorists The target chapter 1 introduces the notion of an observer as an entity which applies a given Bayesian theory to the task of inferring world properties from sense data. In fact, most of this volume is concerned with observers in one form or another. The basic idea is that the perceptu...
متن کاملBayes, E-Bayes and Robust Bayes Premium Estimation and Prediction under the Squared Log Error Loss Function
In risk analysis based on Bayesian framework, premium calculation requires specification of a prior distribution for the risk parameter in the heterogeneous portfolio. When the prior knowledge is vague, the E-Bayesian and robust Bayesian analysis can be used to handle the uncertainty in specifying the prior distribution by considering a class of priors instead of a single prior. In th...
