On Quantum Conditional Probability [PDF]

open access: yesTheoria, 2013
We argue that quantum theory does not allow for a generalization of the notion of classical conditional probability by showing that the probability defined by the Lüders rule, standardly interpreted in the literature as the quantum-mechanical ...

Multiple perspectives on the concept of conditional probability [PDF]

open access: yesAvances de Investigación en Educación Matemática, 2012
Conditional probability is a key to the subjectivist theory of probability; however, it plays a subsidiary role in the usual conception of probability where its counterpart, namely independence is of basic importance.

Revisiting the conditional construal of conditional probability [PDF]

open access: yesLogic and Logical Philosophy, 2022
We show how to extend any finite probability space into another finite one which satisfies the conditional construal of conditional probability for the original propositions, given some maximal allowed degree of nesting of the conditional.

Conditionals and conditional probability

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2003
The authors report 3 experiments in which participants were invited to judge the probability of statements of the form if p then q given frequency information about the cases pq, p-q, -pq, and -p-q (where - not).

The probability of conditionals: A review [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2021
A major hypothesis about conditionals is the Equation in which the probability of a conditional equals the corresponding conditional probability: p(if A then C) = p(C|A). Probabilistic theories often treat it as axiomatic, whereas it follows from the meanings of conditionals in the theory of mental models. In this theory, intuitive models (system 1) do

Using conditional kernel density estimation for wind power density forecasting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Of the various renewable energy resources, wind power is widely recognized as one of the most promising. The management of wind farms and electricity systems can benefit greatly from the availability of estimates of the probability distribution of wind ...

On the Computability of Conditional Probability [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the ACM, 2019
As inductive inference and machine-learning methods in computer science see continued success, researchers are aiming to describe ever more complex probabilistic models and inference algorithms. It is natural to ask whether there is a universal computational procedure for probabilistic inference.

The Probability of Iterated Conditionals [PDF]

open access: yesCognitive Science, 2014
AbstractIterated conditionals of the form If p, then if q, r are an important topic in philosophical logic. In recent years, psychologists have gained much knowledge about how people understand simple conditionals, but there are virtually no published psychological studies of iterated conditionals. This paper presents experimental evidence from a study

The Probabilities of Conditionals Revisited [PDF]

open access: yesCognitive Science, 2013
AbstractAccording to what is now commonly referred to as “the Equation” in the literature on indicative conditionals, the probability of any indicative conditional equals the probability of its consequent of the conditional given the antecedent of the conditional.
