The rule of conditional probability is valid in quantum theory [Comment on Gelman & Yao's "Holes in Bayesian Statistics"]
P. G. L. Porta Mana
In a recent manuscript, Gelman & Yao (2020) claim that "the usual rules of conditional probability fail in the quantum realm" and that "probability theory isn't true (quantum physi…
Dimensional analysis in relativity and in differential geometry
P. G. L. Porta Mana
This note provides a short guide to dimensional analysis in Lorentzian and general relativity and in differential geometry. It tries to revive Dorgelo and Schouten's notion of 'int…
A relation between log-likelihood and cross-validation log-scores
PierGianLuca Porta Mana
It is shown that the log-likelihood of a hypothesis or model given some data is equivalent to an average of all leave-one-out cross-validation log-scores that can be calculated fro…
Maximum-entropy and representative samples of neuronal activity: a dilemma
PierGianLuca Porta Mana, Vahid Rostami, Emiliano Torre +1
The present work shows that the maximum-entropy method can be applied to a sample of neuronal recordings along two different routes: (1) apply to the sample; or (2) apply to a larg…
Quantum theory within the probability calculus: a there-you-go theorem and partially exchangeable models
PierGianLuca Porta Mana
"Ever since the advent of modern quantum mechanics in the late 1920's, the idea has been prevalent that the classical laws of probability cease, in some sense, to be valid in the n…
Inferring health conditions from fMRI-graph data
PierGianLuca Porta Mana, Claudia Bachmann, Abigail Morrison
Automated classification methods for disease diagnosis are currently in the limelight, especially for imaging data. Classification does not fully meet a clinician's needs, however:…
