Revisiting the Conditional Construal of Conditional Probability
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how to extend any finite probability space into another one which satisfies the conditional construal of for original propositions, given some maximal allowed degree nesting conditional. This mitigates force well-known triviality results.

Conditional Probability
A fair die is about to be tossed. The probability that it lands with ‘5’ showing up is 1/6; this is an unconditional probability. But the probability that it lands with ‘5’ showing up, given that it lands with an odd number showing up, is 1/3; this is a conditional probability. In general, conditional probability is probability given some body of evidence or information, probability relativised...
متن کاملConditional Probability and the Cognitive Science of Conditional Reasoning
This paper addresses the apparent mismatch between the normative and descriptive literatures in the cognitive science of conditional reasoning. Descriptive psychological theories still regard material implication as the normative theory of the conditional. However, over the last 20 years in the philosophy of language and logic the idea that material implication can account for everyday indicati...
متن کاملConditional Probability Estimation
This paper studies in particular an aspect of the estimation of conditional probability distributions by maximum likelihood that seems to have been overlooked in the literature on Bayesian networks: The information conveyed by the conditioning event should be included in the likelihood function as well.
متن کاملLowe on Conditional Probability
The concept of conditional probability has been employed for hundreds of years. Thomas Bayes used the expression "the probability that [B] on the supposition that [A]" in the statement of a basic law (1763, p. 378). Frank Ramsey, developing the application of probability to uncertain epistemic attitudes, the "logic of partial belief (1926, p. 166), wrote of your "degree of belief in [B] given [...
