Preponderance of evidence [PDF]
European Economic Review, 2002 Abstract This paper investigates the incentive properties of the standard of proof for a finding of negligence when evidence about injurers’ behavior is imperfect. We show that a “more-likely-than-not” decision rule provides maximal incentives for potential tort-feasors to exert care.

Considering the Preponderance of Evidence: A Reply to Cummings
Psychological Reports, 1985Cummings's 1985 response to our prior article suggests that the American Psychological Association was justified in not adequately describing or qualifying medical-cost-offset research findings, because the “preponderance of evidence” in the over-all literature is “quite persuasive.” We argue in return that one's willingness to accept a body of ...

Preponderance of the evidence: an example from the issue of calcium intake and body composition
Nutrition Reviews, 2009Meta-analysis is typically applied to studies developed in fairly mature fields, but may be ill-suited for younger fields in which most of the evidence comes from studies that were designed for other endpoints entirely and that are often significantly underpowered for the effect in question.

Preponderance of the Evidence: Some History
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014Although much has been written on the history of the requirement of proof of crimes beyond a reasonable doubt, this is the first study to probe the history of its civil counterpart, proof by a preponderance of the evidence. It turns out that the criminal standard did not diverge from a preexisting civil standard, but vice versa.

Basic Research in Cardiology, 1986
Verification of the current view that subendocardial preponderance of ischemia is due to greater forces generated in the deep myocardial layer during systole was undertaken. In anesthetized mongrel dogs transient ischemia was produced in two different situations of altered systolic forces. First, in order to remove that part of the systolic force which

Preponderance of synonymous changes as evidence for the neutral theory of molecular evolution
Nature, 1977ACCORDING to the neutral mutation–random drift hypothesis of molecular evolution and polymorphism1,2, most mutant substitutions detected through comparative studies of homologous proteins (and the nucleotide sequences) are the results of random fixation of selectively neutral or nearly neutral mutations.

The preponderance-of-the-evidence standard usually is understood to mean that the plaintiff must show that the probability that the defendant is in fact liable exceeds 1/2. Several commentators and at least one court have suggested that in some situations it may be preferable to make each defendant pay plaintiff's damages discounted by the probability ...
