one-way analysis of covariance is a popular and common statisticalmethod, wherein the equality of the means of several random variables whichhave a linear relationship with a random mathematical variable, is tested. inthis study, a method is presented to improve the one-way analysis of covari-ance when there is an uncertainty in accepting the statistical hypotheses. themethod deals with a fuzzy...

I argue that there are non-trivial objective chances (that is, objective chances other than 0 and 1) even in deterministic worlds. The argument is straightforward. I observe that there are probabilistic special scientific laws even in deterministic worlds. These laws project nontrivial probabilities for the events that they concern. And these probabilities play the chance role and so should be ...

in this paper, we introduce the concept of dynamical distance on a nuclear con-guration space. we partition the nuclear conguration space into disjoint classes. this clas-sication coincides with the classical partitioning of molecular systems via the concept ofconjugacy of dynamical systems. it gives a quantitative criterion to distinguish dierentmolecular structures.

Can there be deterministic chance? That is, can there be objective chance values other than 0 or 1, in a deterministic world? I will argue that the answer is no. In a deterministic world, the only function that can play the role of chance is one that outputs just 0s and 1s. The role of chance involves connections from chance to credence, possibility, time, intrinsicness, lawhood, and causation....

Despite concerted efforts by Carnap and others, including recently by Jon Williamson in an objective Bayesian setting, no satisfying philosophical justification for learning from experience has been produced thus far. I contend that finitude constraints imposed by our world on even otherwise-ideal agents suggest a new epistemic principle, Illusory Chance, which provides justification for learni...
