Abstract Conjoint analysis is widely used for estimating the effects of a large number treatments on multidimensional decision-making. However, it this substantive advantage that leads to statistically undesirable property, multiple hypothesis testing. Existing applications conjoint except few do not correct hypotheses be tested, and empirical guidance choice testing correction methods has been...

Abstract We introduce an expected-value theory of linguistic modality that makes reference to expected utility and a likelihood-based confirmation measure for deontics epistemics, respectively. The account is probabilistic semantics yet it proposes epistemics share common core modal semantics, as in traditional possible-worlds analysis modality. argue this not only theoretically advantageous, b...

Detecting the faint emission of a secondary source in proximity much brighter one has been most severe obstacle for using direct imaging searching exoplanets. Using quantum state discrimination and techniques, we show that can significantly reduce probability error detecting presence weak source, especially when two sources have small angular separations. If intensity ??1 relative to bright fin...
