Ambiguity aversion, modern Bayesianism and small worlds [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Research Europe, 2021
The central question of this paper is whether a rational agent under uncertainty can exhibit ambiguity aversion (AA). The answer to this question depends on the way the agent forms her probabilistic beliefs: classical Bayesianism (CB) vs modern ...

A Snapshot of Bayesianism [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
Students are told in basic probability classes that there are two main “schools” of statistics, the frequentist and the Bayesian, and that those different views of how to approach statistical inference problems arise from two different views of the ...

Empirical Bayes Methods, Evidentialism, and the Inferential Roles They Play [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
Empirical Bayes-based Methods (EBM) is an increasingly popular form of Objective Bayesianism (OB). It is identified in particular with the statistician Bradley Efron.

Probabilistic Alternatives to Bayesianism: The Case of Explanationism [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
There has been a probabilistic turn in contemporary cognitive science. Far and away, most of the work in this vein is Bayesian, at least in name. Coinciding with this development, philosophers have increasingly promoted Bayesianism as the best normative ...

A Formal Framework for Knowledge Acquisition: Going beyond Machine Learning [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
Philosophers frequently define knowledge as justified, true belief. We built a mathematical framework that makes it possible to define learning (increasing number of true beliefs) and knowledge of an agent in precise ways, by phrasing belief in terms of ...

Enhancing Bayesian Approaches in the Cognitive and Neural Sciences via Complex Dynamical Systems Theory

open access: yesDynamics, 2023
In the cognitive and neural sciences, Bayesianism refers to a collection of concepts and methods stemming from various implementations of Bayes’ theorem, which is a formal way to calculate the conditional probability of a hypothesis being true based on ...

The measurement problem in Quantum Mechanics: Convivial Solipsism [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2020
The problem of measurement is often considered an inconsistency inside the quantum formalism. Many attempts to solve (or to dissolve) it have been made since the inception of quantum mechanics.
