Bayesian Decision Theory and Stochastic Independence [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2017
Stochastic independence has a complex status in probability theory. It is not part of the definition of a probability measure, but it is nonetheless an essential property for the mathematical development of this theory.

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.

Asymptotic formulas for the left truncated moments of sums with consistently varying distributed increments

open access: yesNonlinear Analysis, 2021
In this paper, we consider the sum Snξ = ξ1 + ... + ξn of possibly dependent and nonidentically distributed real-valued random variables ξ1, ... , ξn with consistently varying distributions. By assuming that collection {ξ1, ...

Risky choice: Probability weighting explains independence axiom violations in monkeys

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2022
Expected Utility Theory (EUT) provides axioms for maximizing utility in risky choice. The Independence Axiom (IA) is its most demanding axiom: preferences between two options should not change when altering both options equally by mixing them with a ...
