EVIDENCE ANALOG

Heat flowing into a thermodynamic system (top) provides energy that can be converted to work. Temperature offers an absolute measure of the system’s energy. An analogous system (bottom) might provide a consistent way to measure strength of evidence provided by statistical data. E, a measure of “evidential energy,” would quantify the amount of evidential work that statistical data supply. Credit: B. Rakouskas
