Of Blickets, Butterflies, and Baby Dinosaurs: Children’s Diagnostic Reasoning Across Domains
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 The three studies presented here examine children’s ability to make diagnostic inferences about an interactive causal structure across different domains.

Natural frequencies facilitate diagnostic inferences of managers [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 In Bayesian inference tasks, information about base rates as well as hit rate and false-alarm rate needs to be integrated according to Bayes' rule after the result of a diagnostic test became known. Numerous studies have found that presenting information in a Bayesian inference task in terms of natural frequencies leads to better performance compared ...

The Higgs discovery as a diagnostic causal inference [PDF]
Synthese, 2015 I reconstruct the discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS collaboration at CERN as the application of a series of inferences from effects to causes. I show to what extent such diagnostic causal inferences can be based on well established knowledge gained in previous experiments.

Determinants of diagnostic and pseudodiagnostic information selection
Ψυχολογία: το Περιοδικό της Ελληνικής Ψυχολογικής Εταιρείας, 2020 Pseudodiagnosticity refers to the tendency to select impoverished information in preference to equally available diagnostic data. Mynatt, Doherty, and Dragan (1993) reported that pseudodiagnostic reasoning was attenuated in problems in which the ...

Energies, 2021 The paper analyses the research problem of conducting diagnostic reasoning for dynamic objects to eliminate the possibility of formulating false diagnoses resulting from different delays of the symptoms related to a particular fault while simultaneously ...

Inferences of clinical diagnostic reasoning and diagnostic error
Journal of Biomedical Informatics, 2011 This paper discusses clinical diagnostic reasoning in terms of a pattern of If/then/Therefore reasoning driven by data gathering and the inference of abduction, as defined in the present paper, and the inferences of retroduction, deduction, and induction as defined by philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce.

Using natural frequencies to improve diagnostic inferences [PDF]
Academic Medicine, 1998 To test whether physician's diagnostic inferences can be improved by communicating information using natural frequencies instead of probabilities. Whereas probabilities and relative frequencies are normalized with respect to disease base rates, natural frequencies are not normalized.The authors asked 48 physicians in Munich and Düsseldorf to determine ...

Inference diagnostic state of the technical object in logic k-valuable [PDF]
Biuletyn Wojskowej Akademii Technicznej, 2017 The article presents the problem of describing the theoretical basis for inference (decision-making) in the multi-valued logic. A significant part of the article concerns the descrip-tion of the basis for the development of the logic k-value, where k = 2,

Nonparametric predictive inference for diagnostic test thresholds [PDF]
Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2018 Measuring the accuracy of diagnostic tests is crucial in many application areas including medicine, machine learning and credit scoring. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and surface are useful tools to assess the ability of diagnostic tests to discriminate between ordered classes or groups.

Remarkable properties for diagnostics and inference of ranking data modelling [PDF]
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 2022 The Plackett‐Luce model (PL) for ranked data assumes the forward order of the ranking process. This hypothesis postulates that the ranking process of the items is carried out by sequentially assigning the positions from the top (most liked) to the bottom (least liked) alternative.
