Second-order probability affects hypothesis confirmation.
Bayesian confirmation measures give numerical expression to the impact of evidence E on a hypothesis H. All measures proposed to date are formal-that is, functions of the probabilities Pr[see equation in text], Pr[see equation in text], Pr[see equation in text], Pr[see equation in text], and nothing more. Experiments reported in Tentori, Crupi, and Osherson (2007) suggest that human confirmatio...
متن کاملSecond-order probability matching priors
The paper considers priors obtained by ensuring approximate frequentist validity of (a) posterior quantiles, and of (b) the posterior distribution function. It is seen that, at the second order of approximation, the two approaches do not necessarily lead to identical conclusions. Examples are given to illustrate this. The role of invariance in the context of probability matching is also discussed.
متن کاملSecond Order Asymptotics for Quantum Hypothesis Testing
In the asymptotic theory of quantum hypothesis testing, the error probability of the first kind jumps sharply from zero to one when the error exponent of the second kind passes by the point of the relative entropy of the two states, in an increasing way. This is well known as the direct part and strong converse of quantum Stein’s lemma. Here we look into the behavior of this sudden change and h...
متن کاملSecond Order Approximations for Probability Models
In this paper, we derive a second order mean field theory for directed graphical probability models. By using an information theoretic argument it is shown how this can be done in the absense of a partition function. This method is the direct generalisation of the well-known TAP approximation for Boltzmann Machines. In a numerical example, it is shown that the method greatly improves the first ...
متن کاملUncertainty Levels of Second-Order Probability
Since second-order probability distributions assign probabilities to probabilities there is uncertainty on two levels. Although different types of uncertainty have been distinguished before and corresponding measures suggested, the distinction made here between firstand second-order levels of uncertainty has not been considered before. In this paper previously existing measures are considered f...
