Foundations of a quantum probability theory

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1975
Statistical physical theories are frequently formulated in terms of probabilistic structures founded on a ’’logic of experimentally verifiable propositions.’’ It is argued that to each experimentally verifiable proposition there corresponds an experimental procedure which, in general, alters the state of the system, and is completely characterized by a

On the Foundations of the Theory of Probabilities

Philosophy of Science, 1934
The foundation of the mathematical theory of probabilities is still a controversial subject. There are schools of insufficient reasoning and of cogent reasoning, of a priori determination and of frequency determination, of subjective and of objective probability. Two main difficulties exist. The first is the definition of equally like events.

Foundations of the Theory of Probability and the Theory of Errors

1973
Random event. If a certain event, in given circumstances, may occur or may not occur, then it is called a random event. The probability of a random event is a quantitative estimation of the probability of its occurrence.

The Empirical Foundations of Probability Theory

The Mathematics Teacher, 1973
It is desirable that scientifically oriented secondary and college students be exposed to the role played by mathematics in modeling physical theory and experiment. The nature of the probability model and the empirical evidence offered to support its applications can furnish a very effective counterpoint to the standard examples of the empirical ...

On the Foundations of Probability Theory

1967
My paper will deal with some aspects of the foundations of objective probability theory, more specifically, of the frequency theory of objective probability (see p. 207 for a closer description of our aim). The word ‘objective’ is used in contrast to ‘subjective’ or ‘personal’, and ‘theory’ indicates that we do not plan an analysis of the daily-life ...
