Confirming Power of Observations Metricized for Decisions among Hypotheses
Experimental observations are often taken in order to assist in making a choice between relevant hypotheses ~ H and H. The power of observations in this decision is here metrically defined by information-theoretic concepts and Bayes' theorem. The exact (or maximum power) of a new observation to increase or decrease Pr(H) the prior probability that H is true; the power of that observation to modify the total amount of uncertainty involved in the c…
Confirming Power of Observations Metricized for Decisions among Hypotheses, Part II
At this juncture, we must not minimize grave concerns which remain. As Jeffreys [28, 29] and Carnap [10] have candidly admitted, and as Fisher [20] has strenously insisted in his luminous assessment of the meaning and limitations of Bayes' theorem, there apparently must exist for the possibility of the successive application of Bayes' theorem to a hypothesis on the basis of a sequence of experimental observations, an initial evidence or judgment …
