Observationally Indistinguishable Spacetimes: A Challenge for Any Inductivist [PDF]

, 2011
Results on the observational indistinguishability of spacetimes demonstrate the impossibility of determining by deductive inference which is our spacetime, no matter how extensive a portion of the spacetime is observed. These results do not illustrate an

The Heuristic Value of p in Inductive Statistical Inference

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
Many statistical methods yield the probability of the observed data – or data more extreme – under the assumption that a particular hypothesis is true. This probability is commonly known as ‘the’ p-value.
