Probabilities of Conditionals and Conditional Probabilities

The Philosophical Review, 1976
Abstract In this paper, the view that probabilities of conditionals are conditional probabilities is rejected on the grounds that there is no satisfactory way of interpreting a conditional connective such that the probabilities of conditionals will equal appropriate conditional probabilities.

Probability and Probability Distribution

2017
The theory of probability and statistics underlies all quantitative assessments relevant to pathology. Probability is a concept that occurs due to randomness. A random event or experiment has two main components of interest: the first is the “outcome” which is the result of the event that is being recorded. The second is “parameter” which is a constant

Probable Cause, Probability, and Hindsight

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011
When judges assess probable cause, they must do so either in foresight (when determining whether to issue a warrant) or in hindsight (when determining whether to allow the admission of evidence obtained without a search warrant). Although the legal standard for probable cause is the same, and the facts that might support cause are the same, judges who ...

Are Subjective Probabilities Probabilities?

1974
While it certainly has proved expedient to describe people’s behavior in terms of probabilities, it is not clear whether, to what extent, or under what conditions, it is admissable to identify actual behavior with some reasonably well-fitting probabilistic description of it. What the authors call the confusion problem arises where such admissibility is

On Indeterminate Probabilities

The Journal of Philosophy, 1974
Some men disclaim certainty about anything. I am certain that they deceive themselves. Be that as it may, only the arrogant and foolish maintain that they are certain about everything. It is appropriate, therefore, to consider how judgments of uncertainty discriminate between hypotheses with respect to grades of uncertainty, probability, belief, or ...

Probability and Probability Distributions

1972
In Chapter 1 we showed that the science of statistics is concerned with the interpretation of experimental results from random systems. One of the most important tools used in the development of the subject is a branch of mathematics called the Theory of Probability.

Probability and Probability Distributions

2014
The concept of probability is relevant to experiments that have some uncertain outcomes. These are the situations in which, despite every effort to maintain fixed conditions, some variation of the result in repeated trials of the experiment is unavoidable.

Probability

2015
Rather than entailing that a particular outcome will occur, many scientific theories only entail that an outcome will occur with a certain probability. Because scientific evidence inevitably falls short of conclusive proof, when choosing between different theories it is standard to make reference to how probable the various options are in light of the ...
