A model for reliability analysis and calculation applied in an example from chemical industry [PDF]

open access: yesHemijska Industrija, 2010
The subject of the paper is reliability design in polymerization processes that occur in reactors of a chemical industry. The designed model is used to determine the characteristics and indicators of reliability, which enabled the determination of basic ...

There are no universal rules for induction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In a material theory of induction, inductive inferences are warranted by facts that prevail locally. This approach, it is urged, is preferable to formal theories of induction in which the good inductive inferences are delineated as those conforming to ...

A History of Probabilistic Inductive Logic Programming

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2014
The field of Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP) has seen significant advances in the last 20 years, with many proposals for languages that combine probability with logic programming.

Eternal Inflation: When Probabilities Fail [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In eternally inflating cosmology, infinitely many pocket universes are seeded. Attempts to show that universes like our observable universe are probable amongst them have failed, since no unique probability measure is recoverable.

The Problem of Analogical Inference in Inductive Logic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We consider one problem that was largely left open by Rudolf Carnap in his work on inductive logic, the problem of analogical inference. After discussing some previous attempts to solve this problem, we propose a new solution that is based on the ideas ...

Semantic Probabilistic Inference of Predictions

open access: yesИзвестия Иркутского государственного университета: Серия "Математика", 2017
Prediction is one of the most important concepts in science. Predictions obtained from probabilistic knowledge, are described by an inductive-statistical inference (I-S inference).

Probabilities on Sentences in an Expressive Logic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Automated reasoning about uncertain knowledge has many applications. One difficulty when developing such systems is the lack of a completely satisfactory integration of logic and probability. We address this problem directly.

An observation on Carnapʼs Continuum and stochastic independencies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We characterize those identities and independencies which hold for all probability functions on a unary language satisfying the Principle of Atom Exchangeability.
