Are Subjective Probabilities Probabilities?
1974While 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

This chapter begins with a concise primer, or aide memoire, of probability theory. The fundamentals are recapitulated, drawing on the material of Chap. 4. Moments of distributions are reviewed. The theory of runs (successions of similar events preceded and succeeded by different events), which is useful for analysing nucleic acid sequences and series ...

Conventional Decision Theory takes the expected value of an act \(A\) having outcomes \(0\) in the set \(\mathbf{O}\) as \[ \mathbf{EV}(A) = \sum_{O \in \mathbf{O}}{{\mathbf{PROB}}(O/A)}. \] This doesn't always work. For example, suppose your choice is between smoking and not smoking, but that both a propensity to cancer and the desire to smoke are the

Probability and Probability Distributions
1972In 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.
