In Defense of the Requirement of Total Evidence
Philosophy of Science, 2020According to the Requirement of Total Evidence, when assessing the credibility of hypotheses, we should endeavor to take into account all of the relevant evidence at our disposal instead of just some proper part of that evidence. In “The Fine-Tuning Argument and the Requirement of Total Evidence,” Peter Fisher Epstein offers two alleged counterexamples

Total Evidence Or Taxonomic Congruence: Cladistics Or Consensus Classification
Cladistics, 1998Miyamoto and Fitch's (1995,Syst. Biol.44: 64–76) verificationist arguments for taxonomic congruence are evaluated and found to be unconvincing. In particular, there is no logical connection between the truth of phylogenetic hypotheses and the independence of the sets of characters analysed for their consensus.

Systematics and Biogeography of Hard Ticks, a Total Evidence Approach
Cladistics, 2000Systematic relationships among the basal Ixodidae are examined using one morphological and three molecular data sets, 18S and 28S nuclear and 16S mitochondrial rDNA. Although different combinations of partitions are incompatible in a partition homogeneity test, combining them produces similar or better support for most major lineages through both ...

Total‐evidence backbone phylogeny of Aleocharinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
Cladistics, 2021Phylogenetic studies of Aleocharinae rove beetles, arguably one of the least known and the largest insect lineages, are compromised by its enormous taxonomic diversity. DNA, a powerful resource for phylogenetics, is not available for numerous extant aleocharine species.

Discussion: The Total Evidence Theorem for Probability Kinematics
Philosophy of Science, 1989L. J. Savage and I. J. Good have each demonstrated that the expected utility of free information is never negative for a decision maker who updates her degrees of belief by conditionalization on propositions learned for certain. In this paper Good's argument is generalized to show the same result for a decision maker who updates her degrees of belief ...

Can Your Total Evidence Mislead About Itself?
2019Abstract It’s fairly uncontroversial that you can sometimes get misleading higher-order evidence about what your first-order evidence supports. What is more controversial is whether this can result in a situation where your total evidence is misleading about what your total evidence supports: that is, where your total evidence is ...

Total-Evidence Dating and the Fossilized Birth–Death Model
2020Molecular clock dating has been widely used to study the evolutionary history of species. Total-evidence dating is an approach where morphological and temporal data from fossils, together with morphological and molecular sequence data from extant species, are analysed jointly to infer dated phylogenetic trees and evolutionary parameters.

Probabilistic Inference and the Concept of Total Evidence
1969My purpose is to examine a cluster of issues centering around the socalled statistical syllogism and the concept of total evidence. The kind of paradox that is alleged to arise from uninhibited use of the statistical syllogism is of the following sort.
