“…It was also used by the philosopher Carnap ( 1950Carnap ( , 1952 , but his over-abstract presentation led him to distinguish between frequential probability and logical probability-a distinction that is actually unwarranted in Jeffreys's approach. Despite many identical algebraic properties, it is necessary to distinguish between the different intrinsic meanings of the two terms (Kardaun et al 2003 ) . Both authors added the notion of entropy as a measure of the information available.…”

This Book Series is devoted to examining and solving the major methodological problems social sciences are facing. Take for example the gap between empirical and theoretical research, the explanatory power of models, the relevance of multilevel analysis, the weakness of cumulative knowledge, the role of ordinary knowledge in the research process, or the place which should be reserved to "time, change and history" when explaining social facts. These problems are well known and yet they are seldom treated in depth in scientifi c literature because of their general nature. So that these problems may be examined and solutions found, the series prompts and fosters the setting-up of international multidisciplinary research teams, and it is work by these teams that appears in the Book Series. The series can also host books produced by a single author which follow the same objectives. Proposals for manuscripts and plans for collective books will be carefully examined. The epistemological scope of these methodological problems is obvious and resorting to Philosophy of Science becomes a necessity. The main objective of the Series remains however the methodological solutions that can be applied to the problems in hand. Therefore the books of the Series are closely connected to the research practices.

“…Finally, it is worth mentioning that the approach in Section 3.7 substantially differs from the traditional maximum-likelihood motivation for the least squares loss already used by Gauss. We refer to Schölkopf and Smola (2002) for a brief introduction to the maximum-likelihood motivation and to Kardaun et al (2003) for a discussion on this motivation.…”

“…In fuzzy logic, artificial intelligence, mathematical sociology, and also in daily life, attempts are made to quantify uncertainty and related concepts such as ambiguity and discord. Some of these approaches are based on plausibility and belief measures rather than on probability measures (see Kardaun et al 11 …”
