Plausibility structures for default reasoning
... shown it to encompass various kinds of default reasoning [4, 5]. A feature of this inference is that the rule (AND) – if ψ1 and ψ2 can be derived, then their conjunction ψ1 ∧ ψ2 can be derived – is not necessarily satisfied. Many interesting cases where the rule (AND) should not be satisfied are kno ...

Bayesian Inference for Heterogeneous Event Counts
... After the revolt against Speaker Joseph Cannon in 1910, the 61 st House of Representatives instituted a discharge procedure. This provision, which has remained a part of House rules to date, is the only mechanism by which any majority can force the floor to consider legislation without approval from ...

Inference for two Population Means
... The butterfat content in milk is an important factor in determining its economic value and in how it is processed to form dairy products such as cheese, ice cream, and butter. In an experiment, a company is interested in comparing the performances of two different labs which measure the butterfat co ...

Introduction to Bayesian Analysis Procedures
... assume that unknown parameters are fixed constants, and they define probability by using limiting relative frequencies. It follows from these assumptions that probabilities are objective and that you cannot make probabilistic statements about parameters because they are fixed. Bayesian methods offer ...
