Rejecting or Accepting Parameter Values in Bayesian Estimation

Bayesian t tests for accepting and rejecting the null hypothesis.

Progress in science often comes from discovering invariances in relationships among variables; these invariances often correspond to null hypotheses. As is commonly known, it is not possible to state evidence for the null hypothesis in conventional significance testing. Here we highlight a Bayes factor alternative to the conventional t test that will allow researchers to express preference for ...

The Communication Between Congestion and Accepting or Rejecting Outliers Units; An Application of DEA

Assertion, Denial, Accepting, Rejecting, Symmetry & Paradox

Proponents of “truth-value glut” responses to the paradoxes of selfreference, such as Priest [7, 8] argue that “truth-value gap” analyses of the paradoxes fall foul of the strengthened liar paradox: “this sentence is not true.” If we pay attention to the role of assertion and denial and the behaviour of negation in both “gap” and “glut” analyses, we see that the situation with these approaches ...

Community Formation in Frontier Mexico: Accepting and Rejecting New Migrants

Through a comparison of two communities, this paper addresses village formation in frontier Campeche, Mexico. Mexico's village political unit, the ejido, allows farmers flexibility in deciding who may take up residence in their communities. The paper analyzes how established farmers employ ideas of ethnicity, family, and expectations of social strife to assess the longterm compatibility of newc...

Accepting or Rejecting Students_ Self-grading in their Final Marks by using Data Mining

In this paper we propose a methodology based on data mining and self-evaluation in order to predict whether an instructor will or will not accept the students’ proposed marks in a course. This is an on-going work in which we have evaluated the usage of classification techniques and cost-sensitive corrections. We have carried out several experiments using data gathered from 53 computer science u...
