Axioms for Probability and Nondeterminism
This paper studies a simple calculus for finite-state processes featuring both nondeterministic and probabilistic choice. We present a domain model and an operational semantics for our calculus. The denotational model uses the probabilistic powerdomain of Jones and Plotkin, combined with a geometrically convex variant of the Plotkin powerdomain. The operational model defines transition rules un...
متن کاملLikelihood ratio decoding and confidence measures for continuous speech recognition
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are being integrated into a wider variety of tasks involving human{machine interaction. In evaluating these systems, however, it has become clear that more accurate means must be developed for detecting when portions of the decoded recognition hypotheses are either incorrect or represent out{of{vocabulary utterances. This paper describes the use of con...
متن کاملAxioms for Probability and Belief-Function Propagation
In this paper, we describe an abstract framework and axioms under which exact local computation of marginals is possible. The primitive objects of the framework are variables and valuations. The primitive operators of the framework are combination and marginalization. These operate on valuations. We state three axioms for these operators and we derive the possibility of local computation from t...
متن کاملA New Approximation for the Null Distribution of the Likelihood Ratio Test Statistics for k Outliers in a Normal Sample
Usually when performing a statistical test or estimation procedure, we assume the data are all observations of i.i.d. random variables, often from a normal distribution. Sometimes, however, we notice in a sample one or more observations that stand out from the crowd. These observation(s) are commonly called outlier(s). Outlier tests are more formal procedures which have been developed for detec...
متن کاملSimple axioms for countably additive subjective probability
Thispaper refines Savage’s theoryof subjectiveprobability for the caseof countably additive beliefs. First, I replace his continuity axiomsP6 andP7with a simplemodification of Arrow’s (1970) Monotone Continuity. Second, I relax Savage’s primitives: in my framework, the class of events need not be a -algebra, and acts need not have finite or bounded range. By varying the domains of acts and even...
