Modus Tollens Probabilized

نویسنده

  • Carl G. Wagner
چکیده

We establish a probabilized version of modus tollens, deriving from p(E jH)1⁄4 a and p( E)1⁄4 b the best possible bounds on p( H). In particular, we show that p( H)! 1 as a, b ! 1, and also as a, b ! 0.

Background Medical diagnosis has been traditionally recognized as a privileged field of application for so called probabilistic induction. Consequently, the Bayesian theorem, which mathematically formalizes this form of inference, has been seen as the most adequate tool for quantifying the uncertainty surrounding the diagnosis by providing probabilities of different diagnostic hypotheses, given...

On the joint verification of Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens in fuzzy logic

This paper deals with the joint verification of the inequalities of Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens in Fuzzy Logic. Although the case of Modus Ponens was partially considered before, the case of Modus Tollens and the joint satisfaction of both inequalities are studied by the first time. The cases of R-implications, Simplications, Q-implications and MamdaniLarsen implications are separatedly cons...

On MPT-implication functions for Fuzzy Logic

This paper deals with numerical functions able to functionally express operators defined as , and verifying either Modus Ponens or Modus Tollens, or both. The concrete goal of the paper is to search for continuous t-norms and strong-negation functions for which it is either (Modus Ponens), or (Modus Tollens), or both, for all in and a given . Functions are taken among those in the most usual fa...

Toward Monotonicity Analysis between Two Vague Concepts Based on Fuzzy Rough Sets

A fuzzy rough set approach has been proposed without using any fuzzy logical connectives. By this approach, gradual decision rules are induced from a given decision table. Fuzzy-rough modus ponens and fuzzy-rough modus tollens have been formulated based on the gradual decision rules. The equivalence condition between fuzzy-rough modus ponens and fuzzy-rough modus tollens is discussed. The condi...
