| Abstract: | Research suggesting both a superiority of frequencies over single-event probabilities and of smaller reference classes over very large reference classes have utilized tasks that vary in computational complexity. The present research sought to simply and directly evaluate if - apart from simplifying inference tasks - frequencies and small reference classes are clearer than other formats. |
