Perceptual Accuracy in the Balance: The Weight of the Evidence and the Evidence of Weight
Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, 1998In two studies, we investigated whether individuals were accurate in perceiving weight-related attitudes of their romantic partner. We also investigated whether accuracy was moderated by whether the partner was currently attempting to lose weight, relationship commitment level, amount of discussion about weight and importance of weight. Each individual

Courts of law must weigh evidence to determine the likelihood of competing interpretations of past events, and different legal contexts require different standards of proof, but this falls short of a quantification of probability. Bayes’s theorem and the associated formula provide a way of combining multiple elements of evidence and using them to ...

PART OF the clinician's job is to gather evidence; another part is to interpret it. Practically all of us are teachers of pediatrics, at least in the bonds of the Hippocratic oath if not actually on a university payroll. As such we have the dual responsibility of evaluating clinical evidence in the course of our own work with patients and of teaching ...

Abstract This chapter analyzes and operationalizes a concept of “weight” as denoting the relative degree to which evidence has been developed on the basis of which to determine disputed claims. This concept was coined by John Maynard Keynes and later applied in the context of judicial proof by a number of scholars.

ABSTRACTInterest in the Keynesian concept of evidential weight has led to divergent views concerning the burden of proof in adjudication. It is argued that Keynes's concept is properly engaged only in the context of one special kind of decision, the decision whether or not the evidence is ripe for a decision on the underlying merits, whether the latter

Abstract This chapter describes the metrics used in assessing the significance of a DNA match: the random match probability (RMP) and the likelihood ratio (LR). It explains how these numerical estimates are calculated and what assumptions are used.

You have undoubtedly heard a good deal about global warming. But if you’re like most Americans, you feel somewhat confused about the topic. According to a national survey in 2010, only one in every 10 Americans feels very well informed about the causes of global warming and how Earth’s climate system works.

Selenium effects: A weight-of-evidence approach
Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, 2007Abstract Selenium is increasingly an issue for a wide range of mining, industrial, and agricultural operations. Appropriate methods for evaluating the impacts of selenium in aquatic ecosystems are vigorously debated in the literature. Two common approaches include the use of tissue residue guidelines and reproductive toxicity testing ...

Youden's Index and the Weight of Evidence
Methods of Information in Medicine, 2015SummaryBy means of Shannon’s relationship between information and probability, Youden’s index for rating diagnostic tests is shown to be a probability-scale analogue of the log-likelihood ratio of a positive test outcome.
