“…The use of MRA is appropriate after the assumption of normality (see Figures 2 and 3) and homoscedasticity (see Figure 4) are met. On the one hand, Rani (2016) states that the most commonly used statistical methods are correlation, regression, and experimental design (Littlejohn & Dutant, 2020;Schmidt & Finan, 2018). However, these are all based on one basic assumption, that the observation follows normal (Gaussian) distribution (Littlejohn & Dutant, 2020;Rani, 2016).…”

Inferential methods require checking the normality of assumption prior to further discussion (Rani, 2016).…”

Compared to other countries, the level of agricultural mechanization in Africa and South Africa is relatively low. Among the factors that influence agricultural mechanization, after-sales service of agricultural machinery is among the most significant. On the other hand, financial resources primarily impact on improvement and enhancement of after-sales service of farm equipment. In this paper, a questionnaire was employed as the method of quantitative data collection to assist in the analysis of data from 739 respondents in the Chinese context. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 (Mmbengwa & Qin, 2020), no questionnaires were collected from South Africa for the purposes of this paper. A standard multiple regression analysis (MRA) was utilized to analyze the data collected from the structured questionnaires. Evidence from this study suggests that combining these financial resource factors has a major effect (F2 = 0.802) on the after-sales service of farm equipment. The high scores obtained for economic factors and analyzed in this study mean that, to a large extent, these have a major impact on China’s after-sales service for agricultural machinery in South Africa.

“…I would like to thank an anonymous reviewer at Philosophical Studies for inviting me to consider this objection. 30 Foley (1992), Christensen (2004), Fitelson and Easwaran (2015), Worsnip (2016), Littlejohn and Dutant (2020), Engel (forthcoming), and Field (forthcoming) defend the possibility of inconsistent justified beliefs. 31 See Christensen (2004, Ch.…”

Justification and the knowledge-connection

I will present a novel account of justification in terms of knowledge on which one is justified in believing p just in case one could know that p. My main aim is to unravel some of the formal properties that justification has in virtue of its connection to knowledge. Assuming that safety is at least a necessary condition for knowledge, I show that justification (1) doesn’t iterate trivially; (2) isn’t a luminous condition; (3) is closed under a certain kind of multi-premise closure principle, but; (4) surprisingly one can nevertheless believe with justification a set of claims that’s jointly inconsistent. This last feature allows for a rather satisfying solution to the preface paradox. Finally, I contrast my account with other knowledge-first accounts of justification.

“…15 Foley (1979) denies consistency constraints on justification. For other defenses of the idea that there can be justified or rational inconsistency, see Christensen (2004); Worsnip (2016); Littlejohn and Dutant (2019); Staffel (2019). On the other side, Neta (2018) responds to Worsnip's argument.…”
