This paper describes the current state of implementation of a cognitive computer model of human plausible reasoning, based on the theory of plausible reasoning described by Collins and Michalski.Our goal is to use the simulation as a means of testing and refining the theory. This requires

, and the model is expressed where β is a vector of regression coefficients, Y is a vector containing the observed data, and ε is a vector of unexplained error values. For most statistical analysis the use of a LTI system is considered a reasonable assumption that provides for valid statistical inference

The principle aim of this dissertation is to investigate the philosophical application of quantum information theory to interpretational issues regarding the theory of quantum mechanics. Recently, quantum information theory has emerged as a potential source for such an interpretation. The main

We show that the low-momentum behavior of the lattice Landau-gauge gluon and ghost propagators is sensitive to the lowest non-trivial eigenvalue (λ1) of the Faddeev-Popov operator. If the gauge fixing favors Gribov copies with small λ1 the ghost dressing function rises more rapidly towards zero momentum than on copies with large λ1. This effect is seen for momenta below 1 GeV, and interestingly also for the gluon propagator at momenta below 0.2 GeV: For large λ1 the gluon propagator levels out to a lower value at zero momentum than for small λ1. For momenta above 1 GeV no dependence on Gribov copies is seen. Although our data is only for a single lattice size and spacing, a comparison to the corresponding (decoupling) solutions from the DSE/FRGE study of Fischer, Maas and Pawlowski [Annals of Physics 324 (2009) 2408] yields already a good qualitative agreement.
