Probability without certainty
Like many discussions on the pros and cons of epistemic foundationalism, the debate between C.I. Lewis and H. Reichenbach dealt with three concerns: the existence of basic beliefs, their nature, and the way in which beliefs are related. In this paper we concentrate on the third matter, especially on Lewis’s assertion that a probability relation must depend on something that is certain, and Reic...
متن کاملProbabilistic Conditional Independence under Schema Certainty and Uncertainty
Conditional independence provides an essential framework to deal with knowledge and uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence, and is fundamental in probability and multivariate statistics. Its associated implication problem is paramount for building Bayesian networks. Saturated conditional independencies form an important subclass of conditional independencies. Under schema certainty, the implica...
متن کاملConvolution without independence
Widely used convolutions and deconvolutions techniques traditionally rely on the assumption of independence, an assumption often criticized as being very strong. We observe that independence is, in fact, not necessary for the convolution theorem to hold. Instead, a much weaker notion, known as subindependence, is the appropriate necessary and sufficient condition. We motivate the usefulness of ...
متن کاملEquilibrium without Independence *
Because players whose preferences violate the von Neumann-Morgenstern independence axiom may be unwilling to randomize as mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium would require, a Nash equilibrium may not exist without independence. This paper generalizes Nash’s definition of equilibrium, retaining its rationalexpectations spirit but relaxing its requirement that a player must bear as much uncertainty a...
متن کاملFairness and Utilitarianism without Independence
In this work we reconsider Harsanyis celebrated (1953, 1955, 1977) utilitarian impartial observer theorem. Departing from Harsanyis individual-centered approach, we argue that, when societal decisions are at stake, postulates must not be drawn from individualistic behavior. Rather, they should be based on societal norms. Hence, notions like societal fairness should explicitly be taken as the ...
