Inductive Logic as Explication: The Evolution of Carnap’s Notion of Logical Probability

The Monist, 2018
According 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, 1995
Theλ-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 ...

The Infinite Ballot Box of Nature: De Morgan, Boole, and Jevons on Probability and the Logic of Induction

PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association, 1976
Nature is to us like an infinite ballot box, the contents of which are being continually drawn, ball after ball, and exhibited to us. Science is but the careful observation of the succession in which balls of various character present themselves ([12], p. 150).The project of formulating an account of scientific inference in terms of concepts drawn from

Keynes Had No ‘Hidden Method’ in the A Treatise on Probability (1921): Keynes's Method Is an Explicit Inductive Logic Built on Inexact Measurement and Approximation, Which Was Openly Based on Boole’s Non Linear, Non Additive Approach Using Interval Values Probability

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
J M Keynes’s method was explicitly introduced and used in the A Treatise on Probability in Parts II, III and V. Keynes’s method is an inductive logic built on the mathematical logic and algebra of George Boole. Boole introduced non linearity and non additivity into his approach using interval valued probability that used lower and upper bounds. Boole’s

J M Keynes’s Method in the A Treatise on Probability, Inexact Measurement and Approximation Using Non Additive Upper and Lower Probabilities, Is a Formal, Inductive Logic Built on G. Boole’s Original Boolean Algebra and Logic: It Has Nothing to Do With ‘…A Given List of Possible Behaviors.’

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
J.M. Keynes’s method in the A Treatise on Probability, inexact measurement and approximation using non additive upper and lower probabilities, is a formal, inductive logic built on G. Boole’s original Boolean Algebra and Logic. It has nothing to do with "…a given list of possible behaviors. ” (Almeida, no date).

The Rational Expectations Hypothesis Can Never, Ever Be Shown to Be True (False), Correct (Incorrect), Right (Wrong) or Proven (Not Proven): Ignoring Haavelmo’s Warning about Confusing Deduction (Mathematics, Logic) with Induction (Probability, Statistics, Econometrics) Leads to Oxymorons Such As 'Objectively True Probability Assessments'

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
Advocates and opponents of the rational expectations hypothesis have both confused statistics with mathematics (logic). Only in mathematics can I prove something to be true, false, correct, incorrect, right or wrong. The best one can do in statistics is, by the use of proper scoring rules, establish that one forecaster (model) is better, more accurate ...

Integration of Logic and Probability in Terminological and Inductive Reasoning.

2013
This thesis deals with Statistical Relational Learning (SRL), a research area combining principles and ideas from three important subfields of Artificial Intelligence: machine learn- ing, knowledge representation and reasoning on uncertainty. Machine learning is the study of systems that improve their behavior over time with experience; the learning ...

Ramsey’s 1923 “Induction: Keynes and Wittgenstein”, Paralyzed the Study of Keynes’s Theory of Logical Probability for Over 100 Years

Journal of Economics & Management Research
Ramsey’s severe confusions, based on his ruminations and musings about the logical foundations for Keynes’s relational, propositional logic, led him to come to the bizarre conclusion that Keynes ‘s premises and conclusions, contained in Keynes’s Boolean, relational, propositional logic were somehow tied together with Plato’s metaphysical relations ...
