You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Ward Edwards''' (1927–2005) was an American psychologist, prominent for work on [[decision theory]] and on the formulation and revision of beliefs.

==Education==

Edwards attended Swarthmore College and then received his Ph.D. in psychology from [[Harvard University]].

==Awards==
* Frank P. Ramsey Award from the [[Decision Analysis Society]], 1988
* Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award in Applied Psychology, [[American Psychological Association]] 1996
* 2004 class of [[Fellow]]s of the [[Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences]]<ref>((citation|url=https://www.informs.org/Recognizing-Excellence/Fellows/Fellows-Alphabetical-List|title=Fellows: Alphabetical List|publisher=[[Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences]]|accessdate=2019-10-09))</ref>

"The [[Association for Psychological Science]] named Ward Edwards as a [[James McKeen Cattell Fellow]] in recognition of his sustained and seminal contributions to the technology of decision making and to behavioral decision theory", [http://www.psychologicalscience.org/awards/cattell/citations/edwards.cfm James McKeen Cattell Fellow Award, 1995].

==Research==
Edwards published more than one hundred journal articles and books including ''Decision Analysis and Behavioral Research'' and ''Utility Theories: Measurement and Applications''. In the introduction to a [[festschrift]] for Edwards, [[Barbara Mellers]] states<ref>((cite book |first=Barbara A. |last=Mellers |chapter=Introduction to a Festschrift |title=Decision science and technology : reflections on the contributions of Ward Edwards |location=Boston |publisher=Kluwer |year=1999 |isbn=0792383990 |pages=3–8 ))</ref>

:''Decision Science and Technology'' is a compilation of chapters written in honor of a remarkable man, Ward Edwards. Among Ward's many contributions are two significant accomplishments, either of which would have been enough for a very distinguished career.  First, Ward is the founder of behavioral decision theory. This interdisciplinary discipline addresses the question of how people actually confront decisions, as opposed to the question of how they should make decisions. Second, Ward laid the groundwork for sound normative systems by noticing which tasks humans can do well and which tasks computers should perform.

In 1962, Edwards founded the Bayesian Research Conference with the aim to incorporate and apply Bayesian statistical methods and ideas to decision theory. This conference was renamed the "Edwards Bayesian Research Conference" in his honor in 2005.  In statistics he is well known as lead author of the review article "Bayesian Statistical Inference for Psychological Research," which introduced the notion of 'stable estimation', and was the first to note that a [[p-value]] of 0.05 in the [[Normal distribution|normal]] [[linear regression|linear model]] corresponded to a lower bound on the [[Bayes factor]] of 0.26.<ref>((cite journal |last=Edwards |last2=Lindman |last3=Savage |year=1963 |title=Bayesian Statistical Inference for Psychological Research |journal=Psychological Review |volume=70 |issue=3 |pages=193–242 |doi=10.1037/h0044139 ))</ref>
