Approximate Inference and Scientific Method

Mark A. Fulk, Sanjay K. Jain · Information and Computation · 1994

A new identification criterion, motivated by notions of successively improving approximations in the philosophy of science, is defined. It shown that the class of recursive functions is identifiable under this criterion. This result is extended to apply to somewhat more realistic types of data than usual. This criterion is then modified to consider restrictions on the quality of approximations, and the new criteria are compared to existing criteria.
