Lewis interprets the probabilities involved as temporally indexed single-case chances. From Wordnik.com. [My Shasta Daisy] Reference
It is true that in classic frequentist probability theories there is no assignment of single-case probabilities of the kind I described. From Wordnik.com. [Matthew Yglesias » The Bitter Fruits of a Finance-Oriented Economy] Reference
A single-case propensity theory is one in which propensities are regarded as propensities to produce a particular result on a specific occasion (822). From Wordnik.com. [Interpretations of Probability] Reference
Hacking (1965) and Gillies offer long-run (though not infinitely long-run) propensity theories; Fetzer (1982, 1983) and Miller (1994) offer single-case propensity theories. From Wordnik.com. [Interpretations of Probability] Reference
Participants completed 240 basketball free throws in a single-case A1-B1-A2-B2 design (A phases = "low-pressure" and B phases = "high-pressure"), with the music intervention occurring during the B2 phase. From Wordnik.com. [There is no "I" in team, but there may be sex] Reference
Giere (1973), on the other hand, explicitly allows single-case propensities, with no mention of frequencies: probability is just a propensity of a repeatable experimental set-up to produce sequences of outcomes. From Wordnik.com. [Interpretations of Probability] Reference
Other than “shovel” jobs, which are presumably temporary, and which all right wingers will discount entirely, one can rarely draw a direct single-case line between a stimulus provision and a specific job that was created for it. From Wordnik.com. [Think Progress » Scott Brown Claims That The Stimulus Has Not Created ‘One New Job’] Reference
And during that time, some physical variable, other than the state of the measured system and the setting of the measurement apparatus, might influence the chance (i.e., the single-case objective probability) of the measurement outcome. From Wordnik.com. [Action at a Distance in Quantum Mechanics] Reference
According to the long-run theories, propensities are tendencies to produce relative frequencies with particular values, but the propensities are not the probability values themselves; according to the single-case theories, the propensities are the probability values. From Wordnik.com. [Interpretations of Probability] Reference
Therefore, it is argued, RCTs lack the necessary illustration of nuances of treatment that single-case reports provide. From Wordnik.com. [BioMed Central - Latest articles] Reference
As almost all published studies are single-case reports, it is not possible to evaluate the efficacy of antiviral therapy for these conditions. From Wordnik.com. [Recently Uploaded Slideshows] Reference
