This talk discusses…

Title: E is the New P Abstract: How much evidence do the data give us about one hypothesis versus another? The standard way to measure evidence is still the p-value,  despite a myriad of problems surrounding it. In this talk I will provide a gentle introduction to the e-value (wikipedia), a  recently popularized notion of  evidence which overcomes some…

Title: The heuristic use of conditionalisation Abstract: This paper argues that Bayesian conditionalisation should not be viewed as a universal norm of updating, but rather as a heuristic principle that is helpful in some circumstances but fails in others. I go on to show that the heuristic use of conditionalisation can be validated by an…

Title: Conditional logics and labelled proof systems (an introduction) Abstract: Conditional logics, as introduced by David Lewis in 1973, enrich the language of classical propositional logic with a two-places modal operator, the conditional, suitable to represent fine-grained notions of conditionality. After introducing conditional logics and their semantics, that I will define in terms of neighborhood…
