Mathematics, 2022 Previous studies have shown that bus drivers are a major contributing factor to bus accidents. The aim of this study is to explore the factors that contribute to the presence of accident propensity among bus drivers, as well as the relative importance of

Propensities, probabilities, and the Boltzmann hypothesis [PDF]
Protein Science, 2003 Abstract The relative strengths of interactions involving polypeptide chains can be estimated with reasonable accuracy with statistical potentials, free‐energy functions derived from the frequency of occurrence of structural arrangements of residues or atoms in collections of protein structures.

Research on differential privacy protection method based on user tendency.
PLoS ONE, 2023 It is a new attack model to mine user's activity rule from user's massive data. In order to solve the privacy leakage problem caused by user tendency in current privacy preserving methods, an extended differential privacy preserving method based on user ...

The propensity interpretation of probability and diagnostic split in explaining away [PDF]
Cognitive Psychology, 2020 Causal judgements in explaining-away situations, where multiple independent causes compete to account for a common effect, are ubiquitous in both everyday and specialised contexts. Despite their ubiquity, cognitive psychologists still struggle to understand how people reason in these contexts. Empirical studies have repeatedly found that people tend to

Journal of Causal Inference, 2013 There is an ongoing controversy over whether epidural analgesia for women in labor increases the probability of Caesarean section. Previous research compared results from three methods for estimating the effect of epidural analgesia on the probability of

Adding propensity scores to pure prediction models fails to improve predictive performance [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 Background. Propensity score usage seems to be growing in popularity leading researchers to question the possible role of propensity scores in prediction modeling, despite the lack of a theoretical rationale. It is suspected that such requests are due to

Propensities and conditional probabilities
International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 2011 AbstractThe present paper deals with the objection that Paul Humphreys raised against the propensity interpretation of probability – “Humphreys’ paradox”. An update on existing solutions is offered, and it is concluded that none of them is completely satisfactory in view of Humphreys’ 2004 rejoinder.
