Indifferent Forms

Indifferent Sets

We define the notion of indifferent set with respect to a given class of {0, 1}-sequences. Roughly, for a set A in the class, a set of natural numbers I is indifferent for A with respect to the class if it does not matter how we change A at the positions in I: the new sequence continues to be in the given class. We are especially interested in studying those sets that are indifferent with respe...

Studies on Indifferent Streptococci

The indifferent streptococci are remarkably efficient allergizing agents when inoculated intradermally into rabbits. This is revealed by the high percentage of secondary reactions which occur in the lesions resulting from the inoculation of small doses of these organisms, and by the relative frequency with which positive ophthalmic reactions are obtained following sensitization with relatively ...

The Indifferent Naive Bayes Classifier

The Naive Bayes classifier is a simple and accurate classifier. This paper shows that assuming the Naive Bayes classifier model and applying Bayesian model averaging and the principle of indifference, an equally simple, more accurate and theoretically well founded classifier can be obtained. Introduction In this paper we use Bayesian model averaging and the principle of indifference to derive a...

Revealed preference and indifferent selection

It is shown that preferences can be constructed from observed choice behavior in a way that is robust to indifferent selection (i.e., the agent is indifferent between two alternatives but, nevertheless, is only observed selecting one of them). More precisely, a suggestion by Savage (1954) to reveal indifferent selection by considering small monetary perturbations of alternatives is formalized a...
