Intuitive and reflective inferences
vs. argumentative contexts If our approach is right, reasoning should be more easily triggered in argumentative situations. We should therefore expect better performances on reasoning tasks where the participants are placed in such situations. Standard theories make no such prediction. If anything, argumentative contexts should increase the cognitive load since they involve taking into account ...
متن کاملInferences about time course of Weber’s Law violate statistical principles
Recently, Holmes et al. (2011b) suggested that grasping is only subject to Weber's Law at early but not late points of a grasping movement. They therefore conclude that distinct visual computations and information may guide early and late portions of grasping. Here, we argue that their results can be explained by an interesting statistical artifact, and cannot be considered indicative of the pr...
متن کاملExamining Sensitivity of Small Area Inferences to Uncertainty About Sampling Error Variances∗
Small area estimation based on area level models typically assumes that sampling error variances for the direct survey small area estimates are known. In practice we use estimates of the sampling error variances, and these can contain substantial error. This suggests modeling the sampling variances to improve them and to quantify e , dects of their estimation error on small area inferences. We ...
متن کاملStatistical variances in traffic data
We perform statistical analysis of the single-vehicle data measured on the Dutch freeway A9 and discussed in [2]. Using tools originating from the Random Matrix Theory we show that the significant changes in the statistics of the traffic data can be explained applying equilibrium statistical physics of interacting particles. PACS numbers: 89.40.-a, 05.20.-y, 45.70.Vn
متن کاملStatistical inferences in phylogeography.
In conventional phylogeographic studies, historical demographic processes are elucidated from the geographical distribution of individuals represented on an inferred gene tree. However, the interpretation of gene trees in this context can be difficult as the same demographic/geographical process can randomly lead to multiple different genealogies. Likewise, the same gene trees can arise under d...
