Quantum Probabilities as Behavioral Probabilities [PDF]
Entropy, 2017 We demonstrate that behavioral probabilities of human decision makers share many common features with quantum probabilities. This does not imply that humans are some quantum objects, but just shows that the mathematics of quantum theory is applicable to ...

Generalized probability–probability plots [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 2005 We introduce generalized Probability-Probability (P-P) plots in order to study the one-sample goodness-of-fit problem and the two-sample problem, for real valued data. These plots, that are constructed by indexing with the class of closed intervals, globally preserve the properties of classical P-P plots and are distribution-free under the null ...

Identification of probabilities [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 2017 Within psychology, neuroscience and artificial intelligence, there has been increasing interest in the proposal that the brain builds probabilistic models of sensory and linguistic input: that is, to infer a probabilistic model from a sample.

The American Mathematical Monthly, 2009 We use a probabilistic interpretation of solid angles to generalize the well-known fact that the inner angles of a triangle sum to 180 degrees. For the 3-dimensional case, we show that the sum of the solid inner vertex angles of a tetrahedron T, divided by 2*pi, gives the probability that an orthogonal projection of T onto a random 2-plane is a ...

Probability, propensity and probability of propensities (and of probabilities) [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2017 Invited contribution to the proceedings MaxEnt 2016 based on the talk given at the workshop (Ghent, Belgium, 10-15 July 2016), supplemented by work done within the program Probability and Statistics in Forensic Science at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences ...

Prefix probabilities for linear context-free rewriting systems [PDF]
, 2011 We present a novel method for the computation of prefix probabilities for linear context-free rewriting systems. Our approach streamlines previous procedures to compute prefix probabilities for context-free grammars, synchronous context-free grammars and

Lexicographic probability, conditional probability, and nonstandard probability [PDF]
Games and Economic Behavior, 2010 The relationship between Popper spaces (conditional probability spaces that satisfy some regularity conditions), lexicographic probability systems (LPS's), and nonstandard probability spaces (NPS's) is considered. If countable additivity is assumed, Popper spaces and a subclass of LPS's are equivalent; without the assumption of countable additivity ...

Metaphor and Corpus Linguistics Metáfora e linguística de corpus
Revista Brasileira de Linguística Aplicada, 2011 In this paper, I look at four different aspects of metaphor research from a corpus linguistic perspective, namely: (1) the lexicogrammar of metaphors, which refers to the patterning of linguistic metaphor revealed by corpus analysis; (2) metaphor ...

Global Changes in 20‐Year, 50‐Year, and 100‐Year River Floods
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Concepts like the 100‐year flood event can be misleading if they are not updated to reflect significant changes over time. Here, we model observed annual maximum daily streamflow using a nonstationary approach to provide the first global picture of ...

Reduction of uncertainty using adaptive modeling under stochastic criteria of information content
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2023 Entropy is the concepts from the science of information must be used in the situation where undefined behaviors of the parameters are unknown. The behavior of the casual parameters representing the processes under investigation is a problem that the ...
