The Q-Exponential Decay of Subjective Probability for Future Reward: A Psychophysical Time Approach

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
This study experimentally examined why subjective probability for delayed reward decays non-exponentially (“hyperbolically”, i.e., q ˂ 1 in the q-exponential discount function) in humans.

The role of ANS acuity and numeracy for the calibration and the coherence of subjective probability judgments. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Psychol, 2014
The purpose of the study was to investigate how numeracy and acuity of the approximate number system (ANS) relate to the calibration and coherence of probability judgments.

Subjective Probability Correction for Uncertainty Representations

open access: yesInternational Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2023
We propose a new approach to uncertainty communication: we keep the uncertainty representation fixed, but adjust the distribution displayed to compensate for biases in people’s subjective probability in decision-making.

Subjective confidence reflects representation of Bayesian probability in cortex

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
What gives rise to the human sense of confidence? Here we tested the Bayesian hypothesis that confidence is based on a probability distribution represented in neural population activity.

An empirical investigation into the role of subjective prior probability in searching for potentially missing items [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
There are many examples from the scientific literature of visual search tasks in which the length, scope and success rate of the search have been shown to vary according to the searcher's expectations of whether the search target is likely to be present.

On revision of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement: Proofs of fundamental errors in Bayesian approaches

open access: yesMeasurement: Sensors, 2022
The process of revising the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) is ongoing. A successful revision must be theoretically sound, so it must be based on a recognized paradigm for scientific data analysis.

An Essay on the Double Nature of the Probability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Classical statistics and Bayesian statistics refer to the frequentist and subjective theories of probability respectively. Von Mises and De Finetti, who authored those conceptualizations, provide interpretations of the probability that appear ...

Teaching statistics in the physics curriculum: Unifying and clarifying role of subjective probability [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Subjective probability is based on the intuitive idea that probability quantifies the degree of belief that an event will occur. A probability theory based on this idea represents the most general framework for handling uncertainty.

On Some Applications of the Vougiouklis Hyperstructures to Probability Theory

open access: yesRatio Mathematica, 2017
Some important concepts about algebraic hyperstructures, especially from a geometric point of view, are recalled. Many applications of the Hv structures, introduced by Vougiouklis in 1990, to the de Finetti subjective probability theory are considered ...
