Priors and Likelihood Ratios as Evidence
作为证据的先验与似然比
Arguments based on diagnostic data concerning a particular case, and ones based on prior experience with like cases, can be represented by belief functions and combined by Dempster's Rule. In limiting cases, the belief functions depend on likelihood ratio or on prior odds, and when these limiting cases occur together, Bayes' Theorem is applicable as is Dempster's Rule. The resulting functional equations lead to a single-parameter family of functions relating belief strength…
