Abstract

As outlined in the Preface (and Chap. 1 and other chapters), this book espoused two fundamental views. The first view consists of the proposal that the threshold model represents a method to address the Sorites paradox, which is a consequence of a relationship between scientific evidence (that exists on a continuum of credibility) and decision-making (that is categorical, yes/no exercises).
