Reasoning counterfactually: making inferences about things that didn't happen.
The authors investigated the relationship between reasoners' understanding of subjunctive conditionals (e.g., if p had happened, then q would have happened) and the inferences they were prepared to endorse. Reasoners who made a counterfactual interpretation of subjunctive statements (i.e., they judged the statement to imply that p and q did not happen) endorsed different inferences than those w...

متن کاملInferences in Quantified Semantic Networks
Conventions are shown for representing information in semantic networks in a linear form called semantic case relations. Representations of variables, truth functions, and quantified statements are provided. Methods for answering questions from the resulting semantic predicates are illustrated and a computational procedure for answering questions from quantified semantic predicates is described...
متن کاملInferences on the Generalized Variance under Normality
Generalized variance is applied for determination of dispersion in a multivariate population and is a successful measure for concentration of multivariate data. In this article, we consider constructing confidence interval and testing the hypotheses about generalized variance in a multivariate normal distribution and give a computational approach. Simulation studies are performed to compare thi...
متن کاملGeneralizing Monotonicity Inferences to Opposition Inferences
This paper generalizes the notion of monotonicities to opposition properties (OPs). Some propositions regarding the OPs of determiners will be proposed and proved. We will also define the notion of OP-chain and deduce a condition that enables us to determine the OPs of an iterated quantifier in its predicates based on the OPs of its constituent determiners.
