Australasian Journal of Philosophy, 2013 It is often claimed that principles of individuation imply essential properties of the things individuated. For example, sets are individuated by their members, hence sets have their members essentially. But how does this inference work? First I discuss the form of such inferences, and conclude that the essentialist inference is not a purely formal ...

A modern method of multiple working hypotheses to improve inference in ecology [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Science provides a method to learn about the relationships between observed patterns and the processes that generate them. However, inference can be confounded when an observed pattern cannot be clearly and wholly attributed to a hypothesized process ...

Distributional inference [PDF]
Statistica Neerlandica, 1995 The making of statistical inferences in distributional form is conceptionally complicated because the epistemic ‘probabilities’ assigned are mixtures of fact and fiction. In this respect they are essentially different from ‘physical’ or ‘frequency‐theoretic’ probabilities.

Probabilistic Alternatives to Bayesianism: The Case of Explanationism
Frontiers 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 ...

Mind & Language, 2012 Does the formation of delusions involve abnormal reasoning? According to the prominent ‘two-factor’ theory of delusions (e.g., Coltheart, 2007), the answer is yes. The second factor in this theory is supposed to affect a deluded individual’s ability to evaluate candidates for belief.

Subjectivity in Inductive Inference [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 This paper examines circumstances under which subjectivity enhances the effectiveness of inductive reasoning. We consider a game in which Fate chooses a data generating process and agents are characterized by inference rules that may be purely objective (or data-based) or may incorporate subjective considerations. The basic intuition is that agents who

Performance of Some Estimators of Relative Variability
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2019 The classic coefficient of variation (CV) is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean and can be used to compare normally distributed data with respect to their variability, this measure has been widely used in many fields. In the Social Sciences,
