Why Frequentists and Bayesians Need Each Other
The orthodox view in statistics has it that frequentism and Bayesianism are diametrically opposed—two totally incompatible takes on the problem of statistical inference. This paper argues to the contrary that the two approaches are complementary and need to mesh if probabilistic reasoning is to be carried out correctly.
متن کاملConditional Degree of Belief
The normative force of Bayesian inference is based on the existence of a uniquely rational degree of belief in evidence E given a hypothesis H, that is, p(E|H). To motivate this claim, think of what a Bayesian inference in science typically looks like. There is a competing set of hypotheses that correspond to different values of an unknown parameter, such as the chance θ ∈ [0, 1] of a coin to c...
متن کاملIndeterminacy, Degree of Belief, and Excluded Middle
1. Referential indeterminacy (for instance, indeterminacy as to what a singular term stands for or what a general term has as its extension) is a widespread phenomenon. Ordinary vagueness is a special case of indeterminacy: for instance, it is indeterminate whether the word ‘rich’ has in its extension certain moderately rich people, and it is indeterminate precisely which atoms are parts of the...
متن کاملOn ev-degree and ve-degree topological indices
Recently two new degree concepts have been defined in graph theory: ev-degree and ve-degree. Also the evdegree and ve-degree Zagreb and Randić indices have been defined very recently as parallel of the classical definitions of Zagreb and Randić indices. It was shown that ev-degree and ve-degree topological indices can be used as possible tools in QSPR researches . In this paper we d...
متن کاملOn The Fractional Minimal Cost Flow Problem of a Belief Degree Based Uncertain Network
A fractional minimal cost flow problem under linear type belief degree based uncertainty is studied for the first time. This type of uncertainty is useful when no historical information of an uncertain event is available. The problem is crisped using an uncertain chance-constrained programming approach and its non-linear objective function is linearized by a variable changing approach. An illus...
