A Characterization of Probability-based Dichotomous Belief Revision

چکیده
Abstract This article investigates the properties of multistate top revision , a dichotomous (AGM-style) model belief that is based on an underlying probability revision. A proposition included in set if and only its either 1 or infinitesimally close to 1. Infinitesimal probabilities are used keep track propositions currently considered have negligible probability, so they available future information makes them more plausible. Multistate satisfies slightly modified version basic supplementary AGM postulates, except inclusion success postulates. result shows hyperreal can provide us with efficient tools for overcoming well known difficulties combining probabilistic models change.

Belief Revision in Probability Theory
In a probability-based reasoning system, Bayes’ theorem and its variations are often used to revise the system’s beliefs. However, if the explicit conditions and the implicit conditions of probability assignments are properly distinguished, it follows that Bayes’ theorem is not a generally applicable revision rule. Upon properly distinguishing belief revision from belief updating, we see that J...
متن کاملConditionals, Probability, and Belief Revision (preliminary Version) Conditionals, Probability, and Belief Revision (preliminary Version)*
A famous result obtained in the mid-seventies by David Lewis shows that a straightforward interpretation of probabilities of conditionals as conditional probabilities runs into serious trouble. In this paper we try to circumvent this trouble by defining extensions of probability functions, called conditional probability functions. We further defend the position that rational partial beliefs (ab...
متن کاملA Unied Characterization of Belief-Revision Rules
This paper characterizes several belief-revision rules in a uni ed framework: Bayesian revision upon learning some event, Je¤rey revision upon learning new probabilities of some events, Adams revision upon learning some new conditional probabilities, and dual-Je¤reyrevision upon learning a new conditional probability function. Despite their di¤erences, these revision rules can be characterize...

This paper characterizes di¤erent belief revision rules in a uni ed framework: Bayesian revision upon learning some event, Je¤rey revision upon learning new probabilities of some events, Adams revision upon learning some new conditional probabilities, and dual-Je¤reyrevision upon learning an entire new conditional probability function. Though seemingly di¤erent, these revision rules follow fr...
متن کاملBelief Revision in a Discrete Temporal Probability-Logic
We describe a discrete time probability logic for use as the representation language of a temporal knowledge base In addition to the usual expressive power of a discrete temporal logic our language allows for the speci cation of non universal generaliza tions in the form of statistical assertions This is similar to the probability logic of Bacchus but di ers in the inference mech anisms In part...
