A Suspicious Feature of the Popper/Miller Argument
The form of argument used by Popper and Miller to attack the concept of probabilistic induction is applied to the slightly different situation in which some evidence undermines a hypothesis. The result is seemingly absurd, thus bringing the form of argument under suspicion
A Reinstatement, in Response to Gillies, of Redhead's Argument in Support of Induction

A Historical Comment Concerning Novel Confirmation
A Pragmatic Modification of Explicativity for the Acceptance of Hypotheses
The use of a concept called “explicativity”, for (provisionally) accepting a theory or Hypothesis H , has previously been discussed. That previous discussion took into account the prior probability of H , and hence implicitly its theoretical simplicity. We here suggest that a modification of explicativity is required to allow for what may be called the pragmatic simplicity of H , that is, the simplicity of using H in applications as distinct from…
A Bayesian Approach in the Philosophy of Inference
The Philosophy of Exploratory Data Analysis
This paper attempts to define Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) more precisely than usual, and to produce the beginnings of a philosophy of this topical and somewhat novel branch of statistics. A data set is, roughly speaking, a collection of k -tuples for some k. In both descriptive statistics and in EDA, these k -tuples, or functions of them, are represented in a manner matched to human and computer abilities with a view to finding patterns that …
A Good Explanation of an Event is not Necessarily Corroborated by the Event
It is shown by means of a simple example that a good explanation of an event is not necessarily corroborated by the occurrence of that event. It is also shown that this contention follows symbolically if an explanation having higher “explicativity” than another is regarded as better

Is Minimax Regret Applicable to Voting Decisions
In a recent article ("The Paradox of Not Voting: A Decision Theoretic Analysis," APSR, 68 [June, 1974], 525-536) John Ferejohn and Morris Fiorina suggest that a (potential) voter may be rational in deciding whether to vote and yet not use the expected-utility calculus introduced for this purpose by Downs and Tullock and extended by Riker and Ordeshook. The authors suggest that a rational voter, in deciding whether to vote, may use the minimax reg…
A Little Learning Can Be Dangerous
On Ordinal Prediction Problems
One limitation in building empirically testable models in sociology is that many familiar statistical techniques such as least-squares regression analysis require interval-level measurements while sociologists often have only ordinal-level measurements. Fortunately there do exist statistical techniques that use ordinal measurements. In this article we consider several types of prediction procedures which use ordinal data, as input, including indi…

Corroboration, Explanation, Evolving Probability, Simplicity and a Sharpened Razor
My aim is to discuss (degrees of) corroboration, explanatory power, and complexity, and the relationships between them, and to suggest a new form of Ockham's razor which is applicable in particular to practical statistical problems. It will be found necessary to distinguish between two meanings
