Stanley E. Lazic
Debates about juridical proof are often framed as a conflict between probabilistic approaches and relative plausibility theory (RPT). This paper argues that this opposition rests o…
A weighted-likelihood framework for class imbalance in Bayesian prediction models
Stanley E. Lazic
Class imbalance is a pervasive problem in predictive toxicology, where the number of non-toxic compounds often exceeds the number of toxic ones. Models trained on such data often p…
Internal replication as a tool for evaluating reproducibility in preclinical experiments
Stanley E. Lazic
Reproducibility is central to the credibility of scientific findings, yet complete replication studies are costly and infrequent. However, many biological experiments contain inter…
The ultimate issue error in scientific inference: mistaking parameters for hypotheses
Stanley E. Lazic
Statistical inference often conflates the probability of a parameter with the probability of a hypothesis, a critical misunderstanding termed the ultimate issue error. This error i…
