In Popper's view, corroboration judgments positively appraise the performance of the null hypothesis in a severe test, rather than just stating measure of degree of corroboration may improve scientific reasoning. generally, a measure of degree of corroboration might revive a critical rationalist epistemology of science, by showing how hypothesis tests contribute 3 is the core of the paper: it develops plausible adequacy criteria for degree of corroboration in a statistical relevance framework and demonstrates 2 Popper's Measure of Degree of Corroboration Condition VIII demands that corroboration gained from a successful deductive prediction co-vary with the informativity of the evidence and the prior The next adequacy condition is motivated by the problem of irrelevant conjunctions for measures of evidential support (e.g., Fitelson [2002]; Theorem 3 (Second Impossibility Result) No measure of corroboration c(h,e) constructed according to Formality can satisfy Screened-	./cache/work_2hpgdtyvjzccxkqbj6nkoi7i2m.pdf	./txt/work_2hpgdtyvjzccxkqbj6nkoi7i2m.txt
