A Conflict between Indexical Credal Transparency and Relevance Confirmation
نویسندگان
چکیده
According to the probabilistic relevance account of confirmation, E confirms H relative background knowledge K just in case P(H/K&E)>P(H/K). This requires an inequality between rational degree belief determined two bodies total that are such one (K&E) includes other (K) as a proper part. In this article, I argue it is quite plausible there no possible for ideally agents meeting requirement. Hence, positive may have be rejected.

This paper studies the composition operator for credal sets introduced at the last ISIPTA conference in more detail. Our main attention is devoted to the relationship between a special type of compositional model, so-called perfect sequences of credal sets, and those of (precise) probability distributions, with the goal of finding the relationship between credal compositional models and credal ...
