Some reflections on the test-negative design
Ronald Meester, Jan Bonte
We discuss some philosophical, methodological and practical problems concerning the use of the test-negative design for COVID-19 vaccines. These problems limit the use of this desi…
A behavioral interpretation of belief functions
Timber Kerkvliet, Ronald Meester
Shafer's belief functions were introduced in the seventies of the previous century as a mathematical tool in order to model epistemic probability. One of the reasons that they were…
Phase transition and uniqueness of levelset percolation
Erik I. Broman, Ronald Meester
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and establish basic results of a natural extension of the classical Boolean percolation model (also known as the Gilbert disc model).…
Quantifying knowledge with a new calculus for belief functions - a generalization of probability theory
Timber Kerkvliet, Ronald Meester
We first show that there are practical situations in for instance forensic and gambling settings, in which applying classical probability theory, that is, based on the axioms of Ko…
Assessing forensic evidence by computing belief functions
Timber Kerkvliet, Ronald Meester
We first discuss certain problems with the classical probabilistic approach for assessing forensic evidence, in particular its inability to distinguish between lack of belief and d…
Generating stationary random graphs on with prescribed i.i.d.\ degrees
Maria Deijfen, Ronald Meester
Let be a probability distribution with support on the non-negative integers. Two algorithms are described for generating a stationary random graph, with vertex set …
