A Fuzzy Take on the Logical Issues of Statistical Hypothesis Testing

Philosophies, 2021
Statistical Hypothesis Testing (SHT) is a class of inference methods whereby one makes use of empirical data to test a hypothesis and often emit a judgment about whether to reject it or not. In this paper, we focus on the logical aspect of this strategy,

Fuzzy Inference Full Implication Method Based on Single Valued Neutrosophic t-Representable t-Norm

Proceedings, 2022
As a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, single-valued neutrosophic sets have certain advantages for solving indeterminate and inconsistent information. In this paper, we study the fuzzy inference full implication method based on a single-valued

Critiques of Axiological Realism and Surrealism [PDF]

, 2020
Lyons’s (2003, 2018) axiological realism holds that science pursues true theories. I object that despite its name, it is a variant of scientific antirealism, and is susceptible to all the problems with scientific antirealism.

In Defense of Realism and Selectivism from Lyons’s Objections [PDF]

, 2019
Lyons (2016, 2017, 2018) formulates Laudan’s (1981) historical objection to scientific realism as a modus tollens. I present a better formulation of Laudan’s objection, and then argue that Lyons’s formulation is supererogatory.

The Relationship between Fuzzy Reasoning Methods Based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Interval-Valued Fuzzy Sets

Axioms, 2022
Two important basic inference models of fuzzy reasoning are Fuzzy Modus Ponens (FMP) and Fuzzy Modus Tollens (FMT). In order to solve FMP and FMT problems, the full implication triple I algorithm, the reverse triple I algorithm and the Subsethood ...

The logic of p-values [PDF]

, 2017
Wagenmakers et al. addressed the illogic use of p-values in 'Psychological Science under Scrutiny'. While historical criticisms mostly deal with the illogical nature of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), Wagenmakers et al.

Formal inferences and their relationships to knowledge acquisition: mental models and semantic links

Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2020
The mental model theory is an approach with clear psychological, linguistic, and cognitive consequences. This paper delves into some of the epistemological conclusions that can be drawn from it.

Logical Reasoning for Forecasting in Mesopotamia

Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric, 2021
In this paper, I show that a kind of perfect logical competence is observed in the Babylonian tablets used for forecasting. In these documents, we see an intuition of some algebraic structures that are used for inferring prognoses as logical conclusions.

The Football of Logic [PDF]

, 2017
An analogy is made between two rather different domains, namely: logic, and football. Starting from a comparative table between the two activities, an alternative explanation of logic is given in terms of players, ball, goal, and the like.
