1. A measure or degree of evidential support for a hypothesis or proposition based on probability theory, where the strength of support is quantified using probabilistic methods.
The probabilistic support for the theory increased as more empirical data was collected.
O suporte probabilístico para a teoria aumentou conforme mais dados empíricos foram coletados.
2. In logic and epistemology, a framework that measures how much a body of evidence confirms or supports a given statement using probability values between 0 and 1.
Bayesian analysis provides a formal method for calculating probabilistic support.
A análise Bayesiana fornece um método formal para calcular o suporte probabilístico.
