Errors of Probability in Historical Context
This article outlines some of the mistakes made in the calculus of probability, especially when the discipline was being developed. Such is the character of the doctrine of chances that simple-looking problems can deceive even the sharpest minds. In his celebrated Essai Philosophique sur les Probabilités (Laplace 1814, p. 273) the eminent French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749–1827) said:
متن کاملHistorical aspects of inborn errors of metabolism.
An inborn error of metabolism is a metabolic defect caused by an abnormality in one or more genes. An abnormality present at birth is not necessarily inborn: the foetus may acquire congenital disease such as syphilis or deformity through intrauterine injury. Of more direct nutritional interest are the diseases of the newborn that occur through administration of substances to the pregnant woman ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of the positional errors of historical maps
Data are traditionally evaluated using well-defined data models. But results may be variable if the data are not homogenised or standardised. Comparison of actual data with reference data presents a data model which supposes no error. The problem with evaluating positional quality, especially of maps, is a lack of temporal quality, therefore the reference points for evaluation should be chosen ...
متن کاملThe Optimal Confidence Intervals for Agricultural Products' Price Forecasts Based on Hierarchical Historical Errors
With the levels of confidence and system complexity, interval forecasts and entropy analysis can deliver more information than point forecasts. In this paper, we take receivers’ demands as our starting point, use the trade-off model between accuracy and informativeness as the criterion to construct the optimal confidence interval, derive the theoretical formula of the optimal confidence interva...
متن کاملBlind deconvolution: errors, errors everywhere
attempt to reconstruct a true spectrum from an observed one. The problem we're considering is sometimes called blind deconvolution, because we're trying to unravel not only the spectrum, but the function that caused the blurring. These problems also arise in image deblurring. Spectroscopy Consider the data in Figure 1, which represents counts measured by a spectrometer. Suppose we have particle...
