Objective Probability

چکیده
A distinction is sometimes made between"statistical"and"subjective"probabilities. This is based on a distinction between"unique"events and"repeatable"events. We argue that this distinction is untenable, since all events are"unique"and all events belong to"kinds", and offer a conception of probability for A1 in which (1) all probabilities are based on -- possibly vague -- statistical knowledge, and (2) every statement in the language has a probability. This conception of probability can be applied to very rich languages.

RELIABILITY-BASED MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMAL DESIGN OF SPATIAL TRUSSES USING GAME THEORY AND GA
This paper introduces a reliability-based multi-objective design method for spatial truss structures. A multi-objective optimization problem has been defined considering three conflicting objective functions including truss weight, nodal deflection, and failure probability of the entire truss structure with design variables of cross sectional area of the truss members. The failure probability o...
متن کاملCoverage Probability Bias , Objective Bayes and theLikelihood
In the present paper we use the term objective Bayes to mean any Bayes procedure which has some justiication in terms of small coverage probability bias; that is, any Bayesian procedure that is well-calibrated. In this sense, the term objective Bayes encompasses objective choice of prior, objective posterior probability statements and objective predictive probability statements. We explore the ...
متن کاملA Comparison of the Mahalanobis-Taguchi System to A Standard Statistical Method for Defect Detection
The Mahalanobis-Taguchi System is a diagnosis and forecasting method for multivariate data. Mahalanobis distance is a measure based on correlations between the variables and different patterns that can be identified and analyzed with respect to a base or reference group. This paper presents a comparison of the Mahalanobis-Taguchi System and a standard statistical technique for defect detection ...
متن کاملThinking as Evidence for the Probability of the Existence of a God: An Argument from Unnaturalness for Necessity
The objective of this article is to show that it is justified to assert that the existence of God is plausible, considering the fact that thinking itself is an immediate outcome (effect) of a thinker (cause). This idea may seem evident, but it is in fact challenged by certain claims of cognitive philosophers who aver that our knowledge of necessity and causation is, i...
متن کاملAdaptive Decision Fusion in Detection Networks
In a detection network, the final decision is made by fusing the decisions from local detectors. The objective of that decision is to minimize the final error probability. To implement and optimal fusion rule, the performance of each detector, i.e. its probability of false alarm and its probability of missed detection as well as the a priori probabilities of the hypotheses, must be known. How...
متن کاملEvidential Probability and Objective Bayesian Epistemology
In this chapter we draw connections between two seemingly opposing approaches to probability and statistics: evidential probability on the one hand and objective Bayesian epistemology on the other.
