From Objective Amplitudes to Bayesian Probabilities
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the Consistent Amplitude approach to Quantum Theory and argue that quantum probabilities are explicitly Bayesian. In this approach amplitudes are tools for inference. They codify objective information about how complicated experimental setups are put together from simpler ones. Thus, probabilities may be partially subjective but the amplitudes are not.

Bayesian Optimum Design Criterion for Multi Models Discrimination
The problem of obtaining the optimum design, which is able to discriminate between several rival models has been considered in this paper. We give an optimality-criterion, using a Bayesian approach. This is an extension of the Bayesian KL-optimality to more than two models. A modification is made to deal with nested models. The proposed Bayesian optimality criterion is a weighted average, where...
متن کاملDeveloping an Integrated Simulation Model of Bayesian-networks to Estimate the Completion Cost of a Project under Risk: Case Study on Phase 13 of South Pars Gas Field Development Projects
Objective: The aim of this paper is to propose a new approach to assess the aggregated impact of risks on the completion cost of a construction project. Such an aggregated impact includes the main impacts of risks as well as the impacts of interactions caused by dependencies among them. Methods: In this study, Monte Carlo simulation and Bayesian Networks methods are combined to present a frame...
متن کاملJon Williamson Foundations for Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks are normally given one of two types of foundations: they are either treated purely formally as an abstract way of representing probability functions , or they are interpreted, with some causal interpretation given to the graph in a network and some standard interpretation of probability given to the probabilities specified in the network. In this chapter I argue that current f...
متن کاملObjective Bayesian Epistemology for Inductive Logic on Predicate Languages
Main Objective. The main aim of this work is to provide a new justification of the three norms of objective Bayesian epistemology: that degrees of belief should be (i) probabilities, (ii) calibrated to evidence of physical probabilities, and (iii) sufficiently equivocal or non-extreme. While these norms are typically each justified in different ways, it is shown that they can be given a unified...
متن کاملAssessing brain activity through spatial Bayesian variable selection.
Statistical parametric mapping (SPM), relying on the general linear model and classical hypothesis testing, is a benchmark tool for assessing human brain activity using data from fMRI experiments. Friston et al. discuss some limitations of this frequentist approach and point out promising Bayesian perspectives. In particular, a Bayesian formulation allows explicit modeling and estimation of act...
