Data interpretation: using probability.
• Ensure that a sample is random • Use observations of a sample to judge the features of the population • Plan the study: this includes the appropriate analysis • Establish a hypothesis: usually that there is no difference • Estimate the probability that the observed data could have occurred by chance • Consider the probabilities of more extreme data as well • If you find ‘no difference’ this i...
متن کاملDecoherence functional and probability interpretation.
We confirm that the diagonal elements of the Gell-Mann and Hartle’s decoherence functional are equal to the relative frequencies of the results of many identical experiments, when a set of alternative histories decoheres. We consider both cases of the pure and mixed initial states.
متن کاملProbability in the Everett interpretation
The Everett (many-worlds) interpretation of quantum mechanics faces a prima facie problem concerning quantum probabilities. Research in this area has been fast-paced over the last few years, following a controversial suggestion by David Deutsch that decision theory can solve the problem. This article provides a non-technical introduction to the decision-theoretic program, and a sketch of the cu...
متن کاملToward a Mechanistic Interpretation of Probability
I sketch a new objective interpretation of probability, called “mechanistic probability”, and more specifically what I call “far-flung frequency (FFF) mechanistic probability”. FFF mechanistic probability is defined in terms of facts about the causal structure of devices and certain sets of collections of frequencies in the actual world. The relevant kind of causal structure is a generalization...
متن کاملProbability interpretation of distributions on SOM surfaces
In this paper, the distributions of training vectors on SOM surfaces are studied in terms of probabilities. The entropy of a single feature’s distribution and the mutual information of two features’ distributions are used to describe the form of the distributions quantitatively. Qualitatively different distributions can be obtained from the same data by using different feature extraction techni...
