We develop a statistical framework to evaluate evidence of alleged cheating with illegal signalling in sports from a forensic perspective. We explain why instead of a frequenstic procedure, a Bayesian approach is called for. We apply this framework t

We show that the incorporation of any new piece of information allows for improved decision making in the sense that the expected costs of an optimal decision decrease (or, in boundary cases where no or not enough new information is incorporated, sta

We investigate the asymptotic relation between likelihood ratios and p-values. We do that in a setting in which exact computations are possible: a coin-tossing context where the hypotheses of interest address the success probability of the coin. We o

We discuss some philosophical, methodological and practical problems concerning the use of the test-negative design for COVID-19 vaccines. These problems limit the use of this design considerably.

Shafer's belief functions were introduced in the seventies of the previous century as a mathematical tool in order to model epistemic probability. One of the reasons that they were not picked up by mainstream probability was the lack of a behavioral

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and establish basic results of a natural extension of the classical Boolean percolation model (also known as the Gilbert disc model). We replace the balls of that model by a positive non-increasing atten

We first discuss certain problems with the classical probabilistic approach for assessing forensic evidence, in particular its inability to distinguish between lack of belief and disbelief, and its inability to model complete ignorance within a given

We first show that there are practical situations in for instance forensic and gambling settings, in which applying classical probability theory, that is, based on the axioms of Kolmogorov, is problematic. We then introduce and discuss Shafer belief
