ABSTRACT

This final chapter presents two examples that are worked out in some detail, using the starting-point-and-adjustment method presented in Chapter 10. In the first example, we have a small amount of quite specific information that we use to form groups and subgroups. We arrive at the answer to our question by estimating the frequencies of these subgroups. In contrast, the second example provides an abundance of rather vague information. It is an exceptional problem for which it is difficult or impossible to estimate the frequencies for the relevant subgroups. Thus, in the second example we make our assessment of the chances more informally.
