چکیده
We give a probabilistic analysis of inductive knowledge and belief explore its predictions concerning about the future, laws nature, values inexactly measured quantities. The combines theory formulated in terms relations comparative normality with reduction those relations. It predicts that only highly probable propositions are believed, many widely held principles belief-revision fail.

Likelihood, Probability, and Knowledge
The modal logic LL was introduced by Halpern and Rabin [HR] as a means of doing qualitative reasoning about likelihood. Here the relationship between LL and probability theory is examined. It is shown that there is a way of translating probability assertions into LL in a sound manner, so that LL in some sense can capture the probabilistic interpretation of likelihood. However, the translation i...
متن کاملModeling probability knowledge and choice in decisions from experience
In most everyday decisions we learn about the outcomes of alternative courses of action through experience: a sampling process. Current models of these decisions from experience do not explain how the sample outcomes are used to form a representation of the distribution of outcomes. We overcome this limitation by developing a new and simple model, the Exemplar Confusion (ExCon) model. In a nove...
متن کاملInducing Probability Distributions from Knowledge Bases with (In)dependence Relations
When merging belief sets from different agents, the result is normally a consistent belief set in which the inconsistency between the original sources is not represented. As probability theory is widely used to represent uncertainty, an interesting question therefore is whether it is possible to induce a probability distribution when merging belief sets. To this end, we first propose two approa...
متن کاملGenerating Bayesian Networks from Probability Logic Knowledge Bases
We present a method for dynamically generating Bayesian networks from knowledge bases consisting of rst-order probability logic sentences. We present a subset of probability logic su cient for representing the class of Bayesian networks with discrete-valued nodes. We impose constraints on the form of the sentences that guarantee that the knowledge base contains all the probabilistic information...
متن کاملConditional Belief, Knowledge and Probability
A natural way to represent beliefs and the process of updating beliefs is presented by Bayesian probability theory, where belief of an agent a in P can be interpreted as a considering that P is more probable than not P. This paper attempts to get at the core logical notion underlying this. The paper presents a sound and complete neighbourhood logic for conditional belief and knowledge, and trac...
