Letter‐to‐phoneme rules: A semi‐automatic discovery procedure

A Discovery Procedure For Certain Phonological Rules

Acquisi t ion of phonological sys t ems can be insightfully s tudied in t e rms of discovery procedures. This paper describes a discovery procedure, implemented in Lisp, capable of determining a set of ordered phonological rules, which may be in opaque contexts~ from a set of surface forms arranged in paradigms. 1.

An informal discovery procedure for two-level rules

A Bayesian Discovery Procedure.

We discuss a Bayesian discovery procedure for multiple comparison problems. We show that under a coherent decision theoretic framework, a loss function combining true positive and false positive counts leads to a decision rule based on a threshold of the posterior probability of the alternative. Under a semi-parametric model for the data, we show that the Bayes rule can be approximated by the o...

Competition as a Discovery Procedure

It would not be easy to defend macroeconomists against the charge that for 40 or 50 years they have investigated competition primarily under assumptions which, if they were actually true, would make competition completely useless and uninteresting. If anyone actually knew everything that economic theory designated as “data,” competition would indeed be a highly wasteful method of securing adjus...
