Probability Logic and Probabilistic Induction
Epidemiology, 1998This article reviews some philosophical aspects of probability and describes how probability logic can give precise meanings to the concepts of inductive support, corroboration, refutation, and related notions, as well as provide a foundation for logically sound statistical inference.

The Rule of Succession, Inductive Logic, and Probability Logic
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 1975Since the later seventeenth century there has existed a theory of inductive probability, which attained an impressive mathematical development at the hands of Laplace; in the nineteenth century it was identified by its advocates as a branch of logic, dealing with a type of inference ostensibly a generalisation of the deductive variety.

Logical Probability, Mathematical Statistics, and the Problem of Induction
Synthese, 1969In this paper I want to discuss some basic problems of inductive logic, i.e. of the attempt to solve the problem of induction by means of a calculus of logical probability. I shall try to throw some light upon these problems by contrasting inductive logic, based on logical probability, and working with undefined samples of observations, with ...

Integration of logic and probability in inductive and terminological reasoning
Intelligenza Artificiale: The international journal of the AIxIA, 2014Representing uncertain information is crucial for modeling real world domains. This has been fully recognized both in the field of Logic Programming and of Description Logics (DLs), with the introduction of probabilistic logic languages (PLL) in logic and with various probabilistic extensions of DLs respectively.

Inductive Logic as Explication: The Evolution of Carnap’s Notion of Logical Probability
The Monist, 2018According to a popular interpretation, Carnap's interpretation of probability had evolved from a logical towards a subjective conception. However Carnap himself insisted that his basic philosophical view of probability was always the same. I address this apparent dash between Carnap's self-identification and the subsequent interpretations of his work ...

Predictive probability and analogy by similarity in inductive logic
Erkenntnis, 1995Theλ-continuum of inductive methods was derived from an assumption, calledλ-condition, which says that the probability of finding an individual having propertyx j depends only on the number of observed individuals having propertyx j and on the total number of observed individuals ...
