Probability kinematics and commutativity

CG Wagner - Philosophy of Science, 2002 - cambridge.org
The so-called “non-commutativity” of probability kinematics has caused much unjustified
concern. When identical learning is properly represented, namely, by identical Bayes factors …

Symmetry arguments in probability kinematics

RIG Hughes, BC Van Fraassen - … of the Biennial Meeting of the …, 1984 - cambridge.org
Probability kinematics is the theory of how subjective probabilities change with time, in
response to certain constraints (accepted by the subject in response to his experience or …

Probability kinematics, conditionals, and entropy principles

Z Domotor - Synthese, 1985 - JSTOR
In this paper I shall argue with some formal justification that (general ized) Bayesian
conditionalization includes all (irreversible) probability kinematics, in particular, kinematics …

Ergodic theory and the foundations of probability

J Von Plato - Causation, Chance and Credence: Proceedings of the …, 1988 - Springer
In the following, I shall illustrate through examples how useful the notions and results of
ergodic theory are for the foundations of probability. Ergodic theory can be discussed from …

Direct inference and confirmational conditionalization

I Levi - Philosophy of Science, 1981 - cambridge.org
The article responds to some of the points raised by B. van Fraassen concerning probability
kinematics and direct inference within the framework of the approach to the revision of …

Arguments for–or against–Probabilism?

A Hájek - The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2008 - journals.uchicago.edu
Four important arguments for probabilism—the Dutch Book, representation theorem,
calibration, and gradational accuracy arguments—have a strikingly similar structure. Each …

Radical probabilism and Bayesian conditioning

R Bradley - Philosophy of Science, 2005 - cambridge.org
Richard Jeffrey espoused an antifoundationalist variant of Bayesian thinking that he termed
'Radical Probabilism'. Radical Probabilism denies both the existence of an ideal, unbiased …

[图书][B] Beyond chance and credence: A theory of hybrid probabilities

WC Myrvold - 2021 - books.google.com
Concepts related to probability permeate physics. This is most obvious in statistical
mechanics, in which probabilities appear explicitly, but even in cases when predictions are …

Probability kinematics

I Levi - The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 1967 - journals.uchicago.edu
Richard Jeffrey's recent book1 is a contribution of major importance to a unified theory of
probability and utility. In addition, it is full of interesting suggestions regarding the way in …

P Clark, J Butterfield - … of the Aristotelian Society, Supplementary Volumes, 1987 - JSTOR
212 II-JEREMY BUrrERFIELD me mention here four agreements. First, I agree with him in
