The Logical Concept of Probability and Statistical Inference
نویسنده
چکیده
A consistent concept of logical probability affords the employment of interval probability. Such a concept which attributes probability to arguments consisting of premise and conclusion, can be used to generate a system of axioms for statistical inference.

Extending the Qualitative Trajectory Calculus Based on the Concept of Accessibility of Moving Objects in the Paths
Qualitative spatial representation and reasoning are among the important capabilities in intelligent geospatial information system development. Although a large contribution to the study of moving objects has been attributed to the quantitative use and analysis of data, such calculations are ineffective when there is little inaccurate data on position and geometry or when explicitly explaining ...
متن کاملTheory of Profile Likelihood based Statistical Inference.nb
The fundamental problem towards which the study of statistics is addressed, is that of inference. Some data are observed and we wish to make statements, inferences, about one or more unknown features of the physical system which gave rise to these data. The variety of concepts relevant to the logical basis of the process of estimation of hypothetical quantities by the aid of observational mater...
متن کاملLogical Relations in a Statistical Problem
This paper presents the progicnet programme. It proposes a general framework for probabilistic logic that can guide inference based on both logical and probabilistic input, and it introduces a common calculus for making inferences in the framework. After an introduction to the programme as such, it is illustrated by means of a toy example from psychometrics. It is shown that the framework and c...
متن کاملFacts, Values and Quanta
Quantum mechanics is a fundamentally probabilistic theory (at least so far as the empirical predictions are concerned). It follows that, if one wants to properly understand quantum mechanics, it is essential to clearly understand the meaning of probability statements. The interpretation of probability has excited nearly as much philosophical controversy as the interpretation of quantum mechanic...
متن کاملImplementation of Traditional (S-R)-Based PM Method with Bayesian Inference
In order to perform Preventive Maintenance (PM), two approaches have evolved in the literature. The traditional approach is based on the use of statistical and reliability analysis of equipment failure. Under statistical-reliability (S-R)-based PM, the objective of achieving the minimum total cost is pursued by establishing fixed PM intervals, which are statistically optimal, at which to replac...
