  • How do you assign actual values to probabilities?
  • Another of the key tasks of inference is to determine the value of a parameter in a model on the basis of observed data
  • Model comparison is one of the principal tasks on inference. Given some data, how does the plausibility of different models change? Does the data select out a particular model as being better?
  • In this workshop, we’ll introduce and examine the consequences of probability theory in various areas of physics. From the meaning of probabilities, to how to reason with incomplete information, model comparison, and parameter estimation. The approach will view probabilities as an extension of logic (i.e. following Laplace, Bernoulli, Cox, Jaynes, etc)

  • Given that we are interpreting probability as a measure of plausibility, just what is the relationship of probabilities to frequencies?
  • Find the probability distribution that maximises the entropy subject to requiring some averages to be fixed.
  • Some consequences of the product rule are explored including the famous Bayes’ rule.
