Theories of Probability

The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 1995
Summary: My title is intended to recall \textit{T. L. Fine}'s excellent survey, Theories of probability (Academic Press, New York) (1973; Zbl 0275.60006). I shall consider some developments that have occurred in the intervening years, and try to place some of the theories he discussed in what is now a slightly longer perspective.

Theories of Probability

Transactions of the Faculty of Actuaries, 1950
SynopsisVarious definitions of mathematical probability are described and commented upon: (i) the classical formulation, based on the ratio of favourable to total “equally likely” aspects of a system; (ii) formulations based on relative frequency in a sequence of trials, or on the limit of relative frequency as the number of trials is increased ...

Graph Theory and Probability [PDF]

open access: possibleCanadian Journal of Mathematics, 1959
A well-known theorem of Ramsay (8; 9) states that to every n there exists a smallest integer g(n) so that every graph of g(n) vertices contains either a set of n independent points or a complete graph of order n, but there exists a graph of g(n) — 1 vertices which does not contain a complete subgraph of n vertices and also does not contain a set of n ...

The probabilities of theories as frequencies

Synthese, 1977
From the beginning of his career, Reichenbach studied the role that probability played both in modern physical theory and in epistemology.1 He was, with Richard von Mises, one of the foremost proponents of the frequency theory of probability and axiomatized a very general form of it.

Theory of Probability

2013
The theory of probability is the mathematical framework for the study of the probability of occurrence of events. The first step is to establish a method to assign the probability of an event, for example, the probability that a coin lands heads up after a toss.
