Probabilist


Definition:

  • (n.) One who maintains that certainty is impossible, and that probability alone is to govern our faith and actions.
  • (n.) One who maintains that a man may do that which has a probability of being right, or which is inculcated by teachers of authority, although other opinions may seem to him still more probable.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A more current view of science, the Probabilistic paradigm, encourages more complex models, which can be articulated as the more flexible maxims used with insight by the wise clinician.
  • (2) It is argued that the provision of accurate and useful probabilistic assessments of future events should be a fundamental task for biostatisticians collaborating in clinical or experimental medicine, and we explore two aspects of obtaining and evaluating such predictions.
  • (3) Incomplete penetrance of the simpler pattern suggests that this genetic locus interacts in a probabilistic manner with epigenetic mechanisms involved in morphogenesis of the cerebellum.
  • (4) A computer system for probabilistic diagnosis of jaundice was tested on a patient sample from a geographical area different from that for which it was first constructed.
  • (5) First line probabilistic treatment must have a bactericidal activity on the pathogens and must be atoxic.
  • (6) As a possible solution, we propose the use of high disease allele frequencies, as this allows probabilistically for nonsegregation (through parental homozygosity or dual matings).
  • (7) The mathematical model provides a theoretical basis for the vulnerable window and helps elucidate the probabilistic nature of defibrillation.
  • (8) In the third stage it is considered how a non-material mental event, such as an intention to move, could influence the subtle probabilistic operations of synaptic boutons.

  • (10) We describe the belief network, a graphical representation of probabilistic dependencies.
  • (11) In Part II of the series, we compare the performance of QMR to that of our probabilistic system on cases abstracted from continuing medical education materials from Scientific American Medicine.
  • (12) Demonstrated that the interpretation of projective test data is semantic, not probabilistic.
  • (13) This anatomic-physiologic framework coupled with a probabilistic, general analytic approach and with various experimental approaches to tracer studies of mass transport through the heart provides a general basis for methods of estimating myocardial blood flow in the whole organ and in its component regions.
  • (14) Although unpublicized, the use of quantitative safety goals and probabilistic reliability analysis for licensing nuclear reactors has become a reality in the United Kingdom.
  • (15) A matrix for the probabilistic identification of species of Vibrio and related genera has been constructed using the data from 1091 strains collected throughout the world and classified.

  • (17) Data on 15 laboratory analytes obtained in 145 prospectively investigated cholestatic patients with viral hepatitis, chronic intrahepatic cholestasis and extrahepatic biliary obstruction were submitted to a computer-based graphical evaluation using probabilistic test analysis.
  • (18) Actual observation from a large cancer registry confirms this probabilistic prediction.
  • (19) More systematic risk information should also be generated, including probabilistic estimates of risk and environmental impact analyses.
  • (20) Clinicians and patients often ignore major items of data, they handle probabilistic information badly, and their decisions are subject to a number of well-documented biases (Tversky and Kahnemann, 1974).
