On Keynes's conception of the weight of evidence [PDF]

Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2010
Various modern decision theories seek to capture the intuition behind Keynes's conception of evidential weight. Keynes was nevertheless hesitant about the practical relevance of weight in the process of rational decision making because of the 'stopping problem' of finding a rational principle to decide where to stop the process of acquiring information

Weight-of-evidence on environmental impact assessment of metal contaminated sediments in the São Francisco river (Três Marias - Minas Gerais - Brazil): a case study

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The weight-of-evidence - WOE approach was used to assess the environmental impact of sediments contaminated by metals in the São Francisco river and one of its tributaries, Consciência creek, both affected by anthropic activities, in the region of Três ...

Random Matrix Theory and the Fourier Coefficients of Half-Integral Weight Forms

, 2006
Conjectured links between the distribution of values taken by the characteristic polynomials of random orthogonal matrices and that for certain families of L-functions at the centre of the critical strip are used to motivate a series of conjectures ...

How decision analysis can further nanoinformatics

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2015
The increase in nanomaterial research has resulted in increased nanomaterial data. The next challenge is to meaningfully integrate and interpret these data for better and more efficient decisions. Due to the complex nature of nanomaterials, rapid changes

Resonant magnetic excitations at high energy in superconducting $\bf YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.85}$

, 2004
A detailed inelastic neutron scattering study of the high temperature superconductor $\rm YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.85}$ provides evidence of new resonant magnetic features, in addition to the well known resonant mode at 41 meV: (i) a commensurate magnetic resonance

Assessing human carcinogenicity risk of agrochemicals without the rodent cancer bioassay

Frontiers in Toxicology
The rodent cancer bioassays are conducted for agrochemical safety assessment yet they often do not inform regulatory decision-making. As part of a collaborative effort, the Rethinking Carcinogenicity Assessment for Agrochemicals Project (ReCAAP ...

Can mothers judge the size of their newborn? Assessing the determinants of a mother's perception of a baby's size at birth

, 2011
Birth weight is known to be closely related to child health, although as many infants in developing countries are not weighed at birth and thus will not have a recorded birth weight it is difficult to use birth weight when analysing child illness.
