Ideological parsimony
The theoretical virtue of parsimony values the minimizing of theoretical commitments, but theoretical commitments come in two kinds: ontological and ideological. While the ontological commitments of a theory are the entities it posits, a theory’s ideological commitments are the primitive concepts it employs. Here, I show how we can extend the distinction between quantitative and qualitative par...
متن کاملDetecting community structure: From parsimony to weighted parsimony
Community detection has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. A parsimony criterion for detecting this structure means that as minimal as possible number of inserted and deleted edges is needed when we make the network considered become a disjoint union of cliques. However, many small groups of nodes are obtained by directly using this criterion to some networks especially for sp...
متن کاملBalancing Accuracy and Parsimony in
Genetic programming is distinguished from other evolutionary algorithms in that it uses tree representations of variable size instead of linear strings of xed length. The exible representation scheme is very important because it allows the underlying structure of the data to be discovered automatically. One primary diiculty, however, is that the solutions may grow too big without any improvemen...
متن کاملExpressiveness and Parsimony in Z
There are a number of commonly-used Z operations that may be paired oo. Such pairings include (1) the domain and range operations, (2) domain and range restriction, and (3) domain and range anti-restriction. Not only are the operations within each pair very closely related in terms of what they do, they also give rise to a number of very similar laws. Ockham's razor (or the Law of Parsimony) su...
متن کاملParsimony and explanatory power
Parsimony can be related to explanatory power, either by noting that each additional requirement for a separate origin of a feature reduces the number of observed similarities that can be explained as inheritance from a common ancestor; or else by applying Popper s formula for explanatory power together with the fact that parsimony yields maximum likelihood trees under No Common Mechanism (NCM)...
