Axioms for Probability and Nondeterminism
This paper studies a simple calculus for finite-state processes featuring both nondeterministic and probabilistic choice. We present a domain model and an operational semantics for our calculus. The denotational model uses the probabilistic powerdomain of Jones and Plotkin, combined with a geometrically convex variant of the Plotkin powerdomain. The operational model defines transition rules un...
متن کاملSimple axioms for countably additive subjective probability
Thispaper refines Savage’s theoryof subjectiveprobability for the caseof countably additive beliefs. First, I replace his continuity axiomsP6 andP7with a simplemodification of Arrow’s (1970) Monotone Continuity. Second, I relax Savage’s primitives: in my framework, the class of events need not be a -algebra, and acts need not have finite or bounded range. By varying the domains of acts and even...
متن کاملAxioms for Probability and Belief-Function Propagation
In this paper, we describe an abstract framework and axioms under which exact local computation of marginals is possible. The primitive objects of the framework are variables and valuations. The primitive operators of the framework are combination and marginalization. These operate on valuations. We state three axioms for these operators and we derive the possibility of local computation from t...
متن کاملDetermination of Maximum Bayesian Entropy Probability Distribution
In this paper, we consider the determination methods of maximum entropy multivariate distributions with given prior under the constraints, that the marginal distributions or the marginals and covariance matrix are prescribed. Next, some numerical solutions are considered for the cases of unavailable closed form of solutions. Finally, these methods are illustrated via some numerical examples.
متن کاملThe Search for New Axioms
The independence results in set theory invite the search for new and justified axioms. In Chapter 1 I set the stage by examining three approaches to justifying the axioms of standard set theory (stage theory, Godel's approach, and reflection principles) and argue that the approach via reflection principles is the most successful. In Chapter 2 I analyse the limitations of ZF and use this analysi...
