Pseudocontingencies: Flexible contingency inferences from base rates [PDF]
Judgment and Decision Making, 2022 Humans are evidently able to learn contingencies from the co-occurrence of cues and outcomes. But how do humans judge contingencies when observations of cue and outcome are learned on different occasions?

The impact of visualization on flexible Bayesian reasoning
Avances de Investigación en Educación Matemática, 2017 There is wide consensus that visualizations of statistical information can support Bayesian reasoning. This article focusses on the conceptual understanding of Bayesian reasoning situations and investigates whether the tree diagram or the unit square is

An independence test based on recurrence rates [PDF]
Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 2020 A new test of independence between random elements is presented in this article. The test is based on a functional of the Cramér-von Mises type, which is applied to a $U$-process that is defined from the recurrence rates. Theorems of asymptotic distribution under $H_{0},$ and consistency under a wide class of alternatives are obtained.

Numeracy, frequency, and Bayesian reasoning
Judgment and Decision Making, 2009 Previous research has demonstrated that Bayesian reasoning performance is improved if uncertainty information is presented as natural frequencies rather than single-event probabilities. A questionnaire study of 342 college students replicated this effect

What do you mean by false positive?
Environmental DNA, 2021 Misunderstandings regarding the term “false positive” present a significant hurdle to broad adoption of eDNA monitoring methods. Here, we identify three challenges to clear communication of false‐positive error between scientists, managers, and the ...

Collaborative filtering and rating aggregation based on multicriteria rating [PDF]
2017 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (Big Data), 2017 Ratings by users on various items such as hotels and movies have become easily available on the Web. In many cases, other than overall rating for each item by each user, more detailed information such as ratings from different viewpoints and free text comments, as well as aggregated information such as the average of ratings by different users, are ...

Interest Rate Volatility: A Consol Rate-Based Measure [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013 In this paper we propose a new methodology to estimate the volatility of interest rates in the euro area money market. In particular, our approach aims at avoiding the limitations of currently available measures, i.e. the dependency on arbitrary choices in terms of maturity and frequencies and/or of factors other than pure interest rates, e.g.

Evaluation of the metabolic rate based on the recording of the heart rate [PDF]
INDUSTRIAL HEALTH, 2017 The assessment of harsh working conditions requires a correct evaluation of the metabolic rate. This paper revises the basis described in the ISO 8996 standard for the evaluation of the metabolic rate at a work station from the recording of the heart rate of a worker during a representative period of time.

Journal of Intelligence, 2023 Although widely used in the judgment under uncertainty literature, the so-called Lawyer–Engineer problem does not have a Bayesian solution because the base rates typically oppose qualitative stereotypical information, which has an undefined diagnostic ...
