Updating Probabilities

open access: yesJournal of Artificial Intelligence Research, 2003
As examples such as the Monty Hall puzzle show, applying conditioning to update a probability distribution on a ``naive space'', which does not take into account the protocol used, can often lead to counterintuitive results. Here we examine why. A criterion known as CAR (``coarsening at random'') in the statistical literature characterizes when ...

Seismic zonation of the Dead Sea Transform Fault area

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2000
The Dead Sea Transform Fault constitutes the northwestern boundary of the Arabian plate, accommodating the plate’s lateral movement relative to the African plate.

Analytic neutrino oscillation probabilities

open access: yesSciPost Physics, 2023
In the work, we derive exact analytic expressions for $(3+N)$-flavor neutrino oscillation probabilities in an arbitrary matter potential in term of matrix elements and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian.

Quantum tunneling as a classical anomaly

open access: yes, 2011
Classical mechanics is a singular theory in that real-energy classical particles can never enter classically forbidden regions. However, if one regulates classical mechanics by allowing the energy E of a particle to be complex, the particle exhibits ...

Evaluating the Language Abilities of Large Language Models vs. Humans: Three Caveats

open access: yesBiolinguistics
We identify and analyze three caveats that may arise when analyzing the linguistic abilities of Large Language Models. The problem of unlicensed generalizations refers to the danger of interpreting performance in one task as predictive of the models ...

Quantum probabilities as Bayesian probabilities

open access: yes, 2001
In the Bayesian approach to probability theory, probability quantifies a degree of belief for a single trial, without any a priori connection to limiting frequencies.

Liquefaction of Tangier soils by using physically based reliability analysis modelling

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2012
Approaches that are widely used to characterize propensity of soils to liquefaction are mainly of empirical type. The potential of liquefaction is assessed by using correlation formulas that are based on field tests such as the standard and the cone ...

Juggling Probabilities

open access: yesThe American Mathematical Monthly, 2005
The act of a person juggling can be viewed as a Markov process if we assume that the juggler throws to random heights. I make this association for the simplest reasonable model of random juggling and compute the steady state probabilities in terms of the Stirling numbers of the second kind. I also explore several alternate models of juggling.

Evidential Probabilities and Credences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Enjoying great popularity in decision theory, epistemology, and philosophy of science, Bayesianism as understood here is fundamentally concerned with epistemically ideal rationality.

Prise de décision probabiliste spontanée chez les apprenants marocains

open access: yesAnnales de Didactique et de Sciences Cognitives
In our modern society, individuals are often faced with situations in which they have to make decisions spontaneously in an environment involving chance, in which the use of probability remains an adequate tool occupying an important status.
