Abstract:
In an earlier paper the Bayesian model for everyday diagnostics of disease in the particular patient and the Bayesian decision model was criticized. Here a Popperian model is applied and its presumptions and consequences are investigated. Abandoning calculable probabilities as Popper suggests in science, and substituting them with degrees of corroboration, is realistic.
