Since the extreme events are naturally scarce it is expected that the use of a Bayesian inference may improve the efficiency of the parameters estimates of the distribution compared to the maximum likelihood method. Therefore, the Bayesian approach was also applied in the paper using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo for the generalized Pareto distribution. The expected improvement in efficiency is not fully achieved in this study using the noninformative and informative priors. However, the effects of informative prior constructed from historical data depends on the distance.","PeriodicalId":93382,"journal":{"name":"The international journal of evidence & proof","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79571824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This automation system, known as ITS, has features that perform this management, how to act at the traffic lights along the corridor in order to prioritize the passage of BRT also has other features in other areas that allow proper operation to BRT.

It is found that probability is a hyperstructure beyond those of the traditional monotonic and one-dimensional discrete structures. The sample space of probability is not invariant in general cases. Types of vents in the sample space may be refined as joint or disjoint and dependent, independent, or mutuallyexclusive. These newly identified properties lead to a three-dimensional dynamic model of probability structures constrained by the type of sample spaces, the relation of events, and the dependency of events. A set of algebraic operators on the mathematical structures of the general probability theory is derived based on the extended mathematical models of probability. It is revealed that the Bayes’ law needs to be extended in order to fit more general contexts on variant sample spaces and complex event properties in fundamental probability theories. The revisited probability theory enables a rigorous treatment of uncertainty events and causations in formal inference, qualification, quantification, and semantic analysis in contemporary fields such as cognitive informatics, computational intelligence, cognitive robots, complex systems, soft computing, and brain informatics.","PeriodicalId":93382,"journal":{"name":"The international journal of evidence & proof","volume":"232 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79479250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It identifies ways in which current directions provided to jurors in this area are likely to be deficient in influencing juror knowledge and in helping them apply that knowledge in a case context, and develops criteria that can be used to assess the likely effectiveness of directions. A new evidence-based training direction is designed based on these criteria, and tested in a mock jury study (N = 411).
