Combining statistical inference and decisions in ecology
... of nature is epistemic and reducible through scientific investigation. The exact nature of the uncertainty is problem specific. We focus on the uncertainty inherent in our ability to characterize the true state of nature in our examples (e.g., uncertainty in the value of a parameter), but SDT is suf ...

... Hypotheses Suppose a new interpretation of the rules by soccer referees is expected to increase the number of yellow cards per game. The average number of yellow cards per game had been 4. A sample of 121 matches produced an average of 4.7 yellow cards per game, with a standard deviation of .5 cards ...
