Note on Probability Implication
In a recently published paper J. C. C. McKinsey has pointed out some difficulties which arise from Axiom I of my theory of probability implication. This axiom states the unambiguity of the degree p of a given probability implication (03VP) for the case that the class 0 is not empty, a condition formulated by (o), but postulates ambiguity of p in case of an empty class 0, this condition being fo...
متن کاملProbability of Implication , Logical
| Logical inference starts with concluding that if B implies A, and B is true, then A is true as well. To describe probabilistic inference rules, we must therefore deene the probability of an implication \A if B". There exist two diierent approaches to deening this probability, and these approaches lead to diierent probabilistic inference rules: We may interpret the probability of an implicatio...
متن کاملA note on projection and local implication
The phenomenon we now know as projection was first observed by Frege in his brief remarks about presupposition in “Sense and Reference.” Frege observes there that the assertion that Kepler died in misery gives rise to the implication that the name Kepler has a referent; but that so too does the assertion that Kepler did not die in misery. Here we have the source of the observation that if p is ...
متن کاملA Note on Unawareness and Zero Probability
I study how choice behavior given unawareness of an event differs from choice behavior given subjective belief of zero probability on that event. Depending on different types of unawareness the decision-maker suffers, behavior under unawareness is either incomparable with that under zero probability (in the case of pure unawareness), or drastically different (in the case of partial unawareness)...
متن کاملA note on superadditive probability judgment
Recent studies have demonstrated subadditivity of human probability judgment: the judged probabilities for an event partition sum to more than 1. We report conditions under which people's probability judgments are superadditive instead: the component judgments for a partition sum to less than 1. We interpret both directions of deviation from additivity in a common framework, in which probabilit...
