Justifying Objective Bayesianism on Predicate Languages
Objective Bayesianism says that the strengths of one’s beliefs ought to be probabilities, calibrated to physical probabilities insofar as one has evidence of them, and otherwise sufficiently equivocal. These norms of belief are often explicated using the maximum entropy principle. In this paper we investigate the extent to which one can provide a unified justification of the objective Bayesian ...
متن کاملObjective Bayesianism with predicate languages
Objective Bayesian probability is often defined over rather simple domains, e.g., finite event spaces or propositional languages. This paper investigates the extension of objective Bayesianism to first-order logical languages. It is argued that the objective Bayesian should choose a probability function, from all those that satisfy constraints imposed by background knowledge, that is closest to...
متن کاملJustifying Bayesianism by Dynamic Decision Principles
As yet, no general agreement has been reached on whether the Bayesian or the frequentist (Neyman-Pearson, NP) approach to statistics is to be preferred. Whereas Bayesians adhere to coherence conditions of de Finetti, Savage, and others, frequentists do not consider these conditions normative and deliberately and knowingly violate them. Hence further arguments, bringing more clarity on the disag...
متن کاملObjective Bayesian Epistemology for Inductive Logic on Predicate Languages
Main Objective. The main aim of this work is to provide a new justification of the three norms of objective Bayesian epistemology: that degrees of belief should be (i) probabilities, (ii) calibrated to evidence of physical probabilities, and (iii) sufficiently equivocal or non-extreme. While these norms are typically each justified in different ways, it is shown that they can be given a unified...
متن کاملOn Nonparametric Predictive Inference and Objective Bayesianism
This paper consists of three main parts. First, we give an introduction to Hill’s assumption A(n) and to theory of interval probability, and an overview of recently developed theory and methods for nonparametric predictive inference (NPI), which is based on A(n) and uses interval probability to quantify uncertainty. Thereafter, we illustrate NPI by introducing a variation to the assumption A(n)...
