The probability of causation1 [PDF]
Law, Probability and Risk, 2017 Abstract Many legal cases require decisions about causality, responsibility or blame, and these may be based on statistical data. However, causal inferences from such data are beset by subtle conceptual and practical difficulties, and in general it is, at best, possible to identify the ‘probability of causation’ as lying between certain ...

Probability thermodynamics and probability quantum field
Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2023 We introduce probability thermodynamics and probability quantum fields. By probability we mean that there is an unknown operator, physical or nonphysical, whose eigenvalues obey a certain statistical distribution. Eigenvalue spectra define spectral functions.

Decision-making under risk and uncertainty and its application in strategic management
Journal of Business Economics and Management, 2014 We introduce a new decision-making model that unifies risk and uncertain environments in the same formulation. For doing so, we present the induced probabilistic ordered weighted averaging (IPOWA) operator.

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 ...

An Eye-Tracking Study of Statistical Reasoning With Tree Diagrams and 2 × 2 Tables
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Changing the information format from probabilities into frequencies as well as employing appropriate visualizations such as tree diagrams or 2 × 2 tables are important tools that can facilitate people’s statistical reasoning.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Bayesian reasoning, defined here as the updating of a posterior probability following new information, has historically been problematic for humans. Classic psychology experiments have tested human Bayesian reasoning through the use of word problems and ...

Multivariate Juggling Probabilities
, 2014 We consider refined versions of Markov chains related to juggling introduced by Warrington. We further generalize the construction to juggling with arbitrary heights as well as infinitely many balls, which are expressed more succinctly in terms of Markov

Entrepreneurship and Decision-Making in Latin America
Innovar: Revista de Ciencias Administrativas y Sociales, 2014 The principal purpose of this paper is to analyze different methods for decision making, with a focus on entrepreneurship in Latin America. Decision-making methods may be informed by aggregation operators that are based on the use of probabilities ...

Probabilities from envariance?
, 2004 Zurek claims to have derived Born's rule noncircularly in the context of an ontological no-collapse interpretation of quantum states, without any "deus ex machina imposition of the symptoms of classicality." After a brief review of Zurek's derivation it ...
