Modelling conditional probabilities with Riemann-Theta Boltzmann Machines [PDF]
, 2020 The probability density function for the visible sector of a Riemann-Theta Boltzmann machine can be taken conditional on a subset of the visible units. We derive that the corresponding conditional density function is given by a reparameterization of the ...

Relevance differently affects the truth, acceptability, and probability evaluations of “and”, “but”, “therefore”, and “if–then” [PDF]
, 2017 In this study we investigate the influence of reason-relation readings of indicative conditionals and ‘and’/‘but’/‘therefore’ sentences on various cognitive assessments. According to the Frege-Grice tradition, a dissociation is expected.

Efficient Bayesian estimation of Markov model transition matrices with given stationary distribution [PDF]
, 2013 Direct simulation of biomolecular dynamics in thermal equilibrium is challenging due to the metastable nature of conformation dynamics and the computational cost of molecular dynamics.

The Subjective Probability of Conditionals and Its Formalizations
Studia Semiotyczne, 2023 DOI: https://doi.org/10.26333/sts.xxxvii1.04 The aim of the paper is to discuss the problem of the assignment of the degree of belief to conditional sentences by a rational agent.

Inference strength predicts the probability of conditionals better than conditional probability does [PDF]
Journal of Memory and Language, 2022 According to the philosophical theory of inferentialism and its psychological counterpart, Hypothetical Inferential Theory (HIT), the meaning of an indicative conditional centrally involves the strength of the inferential connection between its antecedent and its consequent.

Physical and Metaphysical Counterfactuals: Evaluating Disjunctive Actions
Journal of Causal Inference, 2017 The structural interpretation of counterfactuals as formulated in Balke and Pearl (1994a,b) [1, 2] excludes disjunctive conditionals, such as “had X$X$ been x1 or x2$x_1~\mbox{or}~x_2$,” as well as disjunctive actions such as do(X=x1 or X=x2)$do(X=x_1 ...

Bayesian Decision Theory and Stochastic Independence [PDF]
, 2020 As stochastic independence is essential to the mathematical development of probability theory, it seems that any foundational work on probability should be able to account for this property. Bayesian decision theory appears to be wanting in this respect.

, 2021 The Identity principle says that conditionals with the form 'If p, then p' are logical truths. Identity is overwhelmingly plausible, and has rarely been explicitly challenged. But a wide range of conditionals nonetheless invalidate it.

Reconditioning the conditional [Recondicionando o condicional]
Princípios, 2016 Many authors have hoped to understand the indicative conditional construction in everyday language by means of what are usually called conditional probabilities. Other authors have hoped to make sense of conditional probabilities in terms of the absolute

Relevance and Conditionals: A Synopsis of Open Pragmatic and Semantic Issues [PDF]
, 2020 Recently several papers have reported relevance effects on the cognitive assessments of indicative conditionals, which pose an explanatory challenge to the Suppositional Theory of conditionals advanced by David Over, which is influential in the ...
