Any of my logic students could tell you that there are quite a number of. Scientific Reasoning: The Bayesian Approach. Jacques Poitevineau & Bruno Lecoutre (1998). Howson, Colin and Peter Urbach (1989): Scientific Reasoning: the Bayesian Approach.Illinois:Open Court (second edition 1993). Bayesian Logic- 5 results like the Scientific Reasoning: The Bayesian Approach, Optimum Inductive Methods: A Study in Inductive Probability. Some Statistical Misconceptions in Chow's Statistical Significance. Ian Hacking (1983): Representing and Intervening.Cambridge:Cambridge UP. Application of BNs for case based probabilistic reasoning and scientific evidence assessment. Dr Howson, among other important works, published with Dr. Heckman recommended this to me and it had a big influence on how I think about econometrics and empirical work. The course content is based on the use of likelihood ratios, an approach that is supported by the International Society of Forensic Genetics, the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes and the Association of Forensic Science Providers. I still don't see this as sufficiently different from a blue-green tribal fight - there's a lot of "quantitative/Bayesian approaches are the way to go, and everyone else sucks". I've complained before that philosophy is a diseased discipline which spends far too much of its time debating definitions, ignoring relevant scientific results, and endlessly re-interpreting old dead guys who didn't know the slightest bit of 20th century science. It lasts 6 months with a workload per week of 3 hours on the online (glass, fibres, gunshot residues), drugs and arson. Colin Howson and Peter Urbach, Scientific Reasoning: The Bayesian Approach.
