Reasons for (prior) belief in Bayesian epistemology [PDF]

open access: yesSynthese, 2013
Bayesian epistemology tells us with great precision how we should move from prior to posterior beliefs in light of new evidence or information, but says little about where our prior beliefs come from. It o§ers few resources to describe some prior beliefs as rational or well-justiÖed, and others as irrational or unreasonable.

Bayesian Orgulity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A piece of folklore enjoys some currency among philosophical Bayesians, according to which Bayesian agents that, intuitively speaking, spread their credence over the entire space of available hypotheses are certain to converge to the truth.

A cloud Bayesian network approach to situation assessment of scouting underwater targets with fixed‐wing patrol aircraft

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, 2023
The battlefield situation changes rapidly because underwater targets' are concealment and the sea environment is uncertain. So, a great number of situation information greatly increase, which need to be dealt with in the course of scouting underwater ...

Confirmation in the Cognitive Sciences: The Problematic Case of Bayesian Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Bayesian models of human learning are becoming increasingly popular in cognitive science. We argue that their purported confirmation largely relies on a methodology that depends on premises that are inconsistent with the claim that people are Bayesian ...

A Bayesian latent mixture model approach to assessing performance in stock-flow reasoning [PDF]

open access: yesJudgment and Decision Making, 2017
People often perform poorly on stock-flow reasoning tasks, with many (but not all) participants appearing to erroneously match the accumulation of the stock to the inflow – a response pattern attributed to the use of a “correlation heuristic”. Efforts to

Bayesian Linear Regression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The paper is concerned with Bayesian analysis under prior-data conflict, i.e. the situation when observed data are rather unexpected under the prior (and the sample size is not large enough to eliminate the influence of the prior).

Issues and Requirements for Bayesian Approaches in Context Aware Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Research in advanced context-aware systems has clearly shown a need to capture the inherent uncertainty in the physical world, especially in human behavior.

The impact of visualization on flexible Bayesian reasoning

open access: yesAvances 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

Graphical Reasoning with Bayesian Networks

open access: yes, 2007
Nowadays, Bayesian networks are seen by many researchers as standard tools for reasoning with uncertainty. Despite the fact that Bayesian networks are graphical representations, representing dependence and independence information, normally the emphasis of the visualisation of the reasoning process is on showing changes in the associated marginal ...

Challenges to Bayesian Confirmation Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
While Bayesian analysis has enjoyed notable success with many particular problems of inductive inference, it is not the one true and universal logic of induction. I review why the Bayesian approach fails to provide this universal logic of induction. Some
