Abstract:
Coherent reasoning under uncertainty can be represented in a very general manner by coherent sets of desirable gambles. In a context that does not allow for indecision, this leads to an approach that is mathematically equivalent to working with coherent conditional probabilities. If we do allow for indecision, this leads to a more general foundation for coherent (imprecise-)probabilistic inference. In this framework, and for a given finite category set, coherent predictive inference under exchangeability can be represented using Bernstein coherent cones of multivariate polynomials on the simpl

Abstract:
There is significant interest in inferring the structure of subcellular networks of interaction. Here we consider supervised interactive network inference in which a reference set of known network links and nonlinks is used to train a classifier for predicting new links. Many types of data are relevant to inferring functional links between genes, motivating the use of data integration. We use pairwise kernels to predict novel links, along with multiple kernel learning to integrate distinct sources of data into a decision function. We evaluate various pairwise kernels to establish which are mos

AbstractWe present a refined moving group membership diagnostics scheme based on Bayesian inference. Compared to the BANYAN II method, we improved the calculation by updating bona fide members of a moving group, field star treatment, and uniform spatial distribution of moving group members. Here, we present the detailed description of our method and the new results for Bayesian membership calculation. Comparison of our method with BANYAN II shows probability differences up to ~90%. We conclude that more cautious consideration is needed in moving group membership based on Bayesian inference.

Abstract:
Over the last few decades, experimental research has gained recognition in political science for enabling the identification of causal relationships. Conventional methodological discussions establish that experiments are generally high in internal validity (i.e., the degree of confidence in causal inferences). At the same time, all experimental studies are “context-dependent” and, thus, “the generalizability of experimental effects is always at issue” (Shadish, Cook, and Campbell 2002, 5). In this sense, scholars regularly consider experiments low in external validity (

Abstract:
Gathering evidence is of utmost importance in any legal proceeding. However, sometimes, one of the parties may hide specific evidence, which complicates the adjudicators’ reaching of a fair conclusion. For such cases, judges or arbitrators can use several tools, one of which is adverse inference. An adverse inference is a negative conclusion that may be drawn from a party’s failure to provide some evidence without a valid excuse for non-production. By drawing it, adjudicators assume this evidence would harm the party’s interests. At the same time, adverse inference is quite a radical tool beca

Abstract:
This paper mainly consists of a review of some basic tools of Inexact Inference, its reduction to classical logic and its cautious use of Fuzzy Logic. Those tools are the concept of Conditional Relation, its greatest case of Material Conditional and the concept of Logical-States as possible worlds of "true" elements. Some recent results characterizing Monotonic Preorders are also introduced, in both the Classical and Fuzzy cases. Everything lies on the semantic level of Logic and is presented in a naive mathematical style.

Phylogeographic studies have revealed spatial genetic structure and inferred geographical processes that may have generated genetic diversity and divergence. These study results have implications not only on the processes that generate intraspecific and interspecific diversity but also on the essential integrals for defining evolutionary entities (e.g., species). However, the resulting phylogeographic inferences might be impacted by the sampling design, i.e., the number of individuals per population and the number of geographic populations studied.

Contextualized within the genre of autobiography as well as the subgenre of illness memoir (or "autopathography"), the depression memoir exhibits ambiguities, it is shown, imposed by the constraints of its genre, and by the nature of autobiographical memory.

AbstractReasoning with uncertain data is a central task in artificial intelligence. In some cases, the goal is to find the most likely assignment to a subset of random variables, named query variables, while some other variables are observed. This task is called Maximum a Posteriori (MAP). When the set of query variables is the complement of the observed variables, the task goes under the name of Most Probable Explanation (MPE). In this paper, we introduce the definitions of cautious and brave MAP and MPE tasks in the context of Probabilistic Answer Set Programming under the credal semantics a

The chapter begins by critiquing the dominance of frequentist methods, noting their limitations and the challenges they pose for applied research. Bayesian statistics is presented as a framework that prioritises belief revision and rational decision-making, underpinned by clear probabilistic reasoning.

Abstract Recent logical research is showing an increasing sensitivity to the existence of what may be called different ‘styles of deduction’, organized in logical proof calculi that may vary even in the basic structural rules governing their general handling of premises and conclusions. Standard structural rules, such as Monotonicity, Contraction, Cut or Permutation, may be either lost completely in the process, or be modified to subtler variants (such as ‘leftward’ or ‘cautious’ forms of Monotonicity). Any system of structural rules may be seen as characteristic of a certain deductive style:

Epidemiology is often described as the basic science of public health. A mainstay of epidemiologic research is to uncover the causes of disease that can serve as the basis for successful public-health interventions (e.g., Institute of Medicine, 1988; Milbank Memorial Fund Commission, 1976). A major obstacle to attaining this goal is that causes can never be seen but only inferred. For this reason, the inferences drawn from our studies must always be interpreted with caution. Considerable progress has been made in the methods required for sound causal inference. Much of this progress is rooted

Collective inference is a popular approach for solving tasks as knowledge graph completion within the statistical relational learning field. There are many existing solutions for this task, however, each of them is subjected to some limitation, either by restriction to only some learning settings, lacking interpretability of the model or theoretical test error bounds. We propose an approach based on cautious inference process which uses first-order rules and provides PAC-style bounds.
