Belief Formation ∗ †
An agent is unsure of the state of the world and faces computational bounds on mental processing. He gets signals imperfectly correlated with the true state that he will use to take a single decision. The agent has a finite number of “states of mind” that quantify his beliefs about the relative likelihood of the states. At a random stopping time, the agent will be called upon to make a decision...
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 کاملShort Version Do Belief Reports Report Beliefs?
The traditional puzzles about belief reports puzzles rest on a certain seemingly innocuous assumption, that 'that'-clauses specify belief contents. The main theories of belief reports also rest on this " Specification Assumption " , that for a belief report of the form 'A believes that p' to be true,' the proposition that p must be among the things A believes. I use Kripke's Paderewski case to ...
متن کاملCorrelation Neglect in Belief Formation
Correlation Neglect in Belief Formation Many information structures generate correlated rather than mutually independent signals, the news media being a prime example. This paper shows experimentally that in such contexts many people neglect these correlations in the updating process and treat correlated information as independent. In consequence, people’s beliefs are excessively sensitive to w...
متن کاملSecond-Order Belief Hidden Markov Models
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are learning methods for pattern recognition. The probabilistic HMMs have been one of the most used techniques based on the Bayesian model. First-order probabilistic HMMs were adapted to the theory of belief functions such that Bayesian probabilities were replaced with mass functions. In this paper, we present a second-order Hidden Markov Model using belief functions...
