122. Probability Theory In Linguistics II Symposium at the LSA meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. Includes slides, handouts and abstracts. http://turing.wins.uva.nl/~rens/lsa03.html

Probability Theory in Linguistics II Integrated Frameworks Symposium at the LSA Annual Meeting 2003 Atlanta, Georgia 3 January 2003 ORGANIZERS Rens Bod Jennifer Hay and Stefanie Jannedy BACKGROUND It has long been accepted that many linguistic phenomena display properties of continua and show remarkedly gradient behavior. In attempts to model and account for the gradience of linguistic behavior, increasingly many researchers in all areas of linguistics have adopted the insights and tools of probability theory. At the LSA in Washington D.C. in 2001 we organized a first workshop on "Probability Theory in Linguistics" , which aimed to make this body of work more widely accessible. The workshop combined an introduction to relevant vocabulary, aspects and motivations of probability theory with a sequence of presentations focusing on various sub-areas of linguistics. It resulted in our book "Probabilistic Linguistics" released by MIT Press in early 2003.

Probability amoeba A jar begins with one amoeba. Every minute, every amoeba turns into 0, 1, 2, or 3 amoebae with probability 25% for each case ( dies, does nothing, splits into 2, or splits into 3). What is the probability that the amoeba population eventually dies out? Solution apriori An urn contains one hundred white and black balls. You sample one hundred balls with replacement and they are all white. What is the probability that all the balls are white? Solution bayes One urn contains black marbles, and the other contains white or black marbles with even odds. You pick a marble from an urn; it is black; you put it back; what are the odds that you will draw a black marble on the next draw? What are the odds after n black draws? Solution birthday/line At a movie theater, the manager announces that they will give a free ticket to the first person in line whose birthday is the same as someone who has already bought a ticket. You have the option of getting in line at any time. Assuming that you don't know anyone else's birthday, that birthdays are distributed randomly throughtout the year, etc., what position in line gives you the greatest chance of being the first duplicate birthday?

Probability of Abiogenesis FAQs biogenesis is the field of science dedicated to studying how life might have arisen for the first time on the primordial young Earth. Despite the enormous progress that has been made since the Miller-Urey experiment, abiogenesis is under constant attack from creationists, who continually claim that the origin of life by random natural processes is so unlikely as to be, for all practical purposes, impossible. Following are some articles that challenge this claim and demonstrate the fundamental misconception at the core of the creationists' arguments. Lies, Damned Lies, Statistics, and Probability of Abiogenesis Calculations How likely is it that even a single bacterium could form by chance in the primordial sea? Not very likely, that's for sure, and creationists have been only too happy to provide ludicrously huge numbers purporting to be the odds against such a thing. However, even if these calculations are correct, they are irrelevant, as modern theories of abiogenesis require nothing of the kind to happen. This article briefly illustrates what abiogenesis really is and shows why the creationists' probability calculations do not matter. Borel's Law and the Origin of Many Creationist Probability Assertions Creationists have asserted that a statistical principle called "Borel's Law" mathematically demonstrates that abiogenesis is impossible. This article explains what Borel's Law is and shows that Borel himself clearly understood that his law was not relevant to the probability of the origin of life.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics, Evolution, and Probability Frank Steiger This document may be reproduced without royalty for non-profit, non-commercial use. reationists believe that the second law of thermodynamics does not permit order to arise from disorder, and therefore the macro evolution of complex living things from single-celled ancestors could not have occurred. The creationist argument is based on their interpretation of the relationship between probability and a thermodynamic property called "entropy." By way of background, and in order to clarify the creationist position, let me quote from the creationist literature: The Remarkable Birth of Planet Earth , by Henry Morris: (p. 14) All processes manifest a tendency toward decay and disintegration, with a net increase in what is called the entropy, or state of randomness or disorder, of the system. This is called the Second Law of Thermodynamics. (p. 19) There is a universal tendency for all systems to go from order to disorder, as stated in the Second Law, and this tendency can only be arrested and reversed under very special circumstances. We have already seen, in Chapter I, that disorder can never produce order through any kind of random process. There must be present some form of code or program, to direct the ordering process, and this code must contain at least as much "information" as is needed to provide this direction. Furthermore, there must be present some kind of mechanism for converting the environmental energy into the energy required to produce the higher organization of the system involved. ...

Exploratory Data Analysis EDA Techniques Probability Distributions Probability Distributions Probability distributions are a fundamental concept in statistics. They are used both on a theoretical level and a practical level. Some practical uses of probability distributions are: To calculate confidence intervals for parameters and to calculate critical regions for hypothesis tests. For univariate data, it is often useful to determine a reasonable distributional model for the data. Statistical intervals and hypothesis tests are often based on specific distributional assumptions. Before computing an interval or test based on a distributional assumption, we need to verify that the assumption is justified for the given data set. In this case, the distribution does not need to be the best-fitting distribution for the data, but an adequate enough model so that the statistical technique yields valid conclusions. Simulation studies with random numbers generated from using a specific probability distribution are often needed. Table of Contents What is a probability distribution?

[reposted March 24, 1997] Boardman's Notes: The Criteria of Adequacy of An Explication, illustrated by a discussion of Ayer's Language, Truth and Logic [Original pagination is shown in square brackets; except for this, comments surrounded by brackets are Carnap's.] FROM pages 3-15 of: Logical Foundations of Probability by RUDOLF CARNAP [p. 3:] § 2. On the Clarification of an Explicandum By the procedure of explication we mean the transformation of an inexact, prescientific concept, the explicandum, into a new exact concept, the explicatum. Although the explicandum cannot be given in exact terms, it should be made as clear as possible by informal explanations and examples. The task of explication consists in transforming a given more or less inexact concept into an exact one or, rather, in replacing the first by the second. We call the given concept (or the term used for it) the explicandum , and the exact concept proposed to take the place of the first (or the term proposed for it) the explicatum . The explicandum may belong to everyday language or to a previous stage in the development of scientific language. The
