A Framework for Assessing High School Students' Statistical Reasoning
Based on a synthesis of literature, earlier studies, analyses and observations on high school students, this study developed an initial framework for assessing students' statistical reasoning about descriptive statistics. Framework descriptors were established across five levels of statistical reasoning and four key constructs. The former consisted of idiosyncratic reasoning, verbal reasoning, ...
متن کاملStatistical Reasoning - A Foundation for Semantic Web Reasoning
There has been considerable debate as to the merits and the applicability of probabilistic or statistical reasoning to Semantic Web. Much of this debate seems to have centered on the applicability of statistical methods in a supposedly deterministic setting. In this paper, we argue that statistical reasoning (" reasoning with uncertainty ") need not be a substitute for traditional Description L...
متن کاملIs Plausible Reasoning a Sensible Alternative for Inductive-Statistical Reasoning?
The general purpose of this paper is to show a practical instance of how philosophy can benefit from some ideas, methods and techniques developed in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It has to do with some recent claims [4] that some of the most traditional philosophical problems have been raised and, in some sense, solved by AI researchers. The philosophical problem we will deal with ...
متن کاملPossibility theory and statistical reasoning
Numerical possibility distributions can encode special convex families of probability measures. The connection between possibility theory and probability theory is potentially fruitful in the scope of statistical reasoning when uncertainty due to variability of observations should be distinguished from uncertainty due to incomplete information. This paper proposes an overview of numerical possi...
متن کاملStatistical Foundations for Default Reasoning
We describe a new approach to default reason ing based on a principle of indi erence among possible worlds We interpret default rules as extreme statistical statements thus obtaining a knowledge base KB comprised of statistical and rst order statements We then assign equal probability to all worlds consistent with KB in order to assign a degree of belief to a statement The degree of belief can ...
