Beliefs in conditionals vs. conditional beliefs

Topoi, 2007
Leitgeb distinguishes between two sorts of mental states, namely: beliefs in conditionals and conditional beliefs. On the basis of (logical) theories of (rational) belief change, he shows that mental states corresponding to the former class are distinct from those of the latter class. Next, the author discusses different aspects of conditional beliefs.

Much philosophical ink has been spilt on the relationship between conditional statements and conditional probability, including a proof by David Lewis that the probability of a conditional's being true cannot on pain of triviality be identified with a conditional probability, and a defence by Dorothy Edgington of the thesis that, for this very reason ...

Analyzing belief function networks with conditional beliefs

2011 11th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications, 2011
The success of Bayesian networks is due to their capability to simply represent (in)dependence and to be a compact representation of a full joint distribution of the set of random variables involved in the studied system. Since belief function theory is known as a general framework to reason under uncertainty, it is expected that belief function ...
