Description for Probabilistic Logic in a Coherent Setting
Paperback. Characterizing probability as a linear operator rather than as a measure, this book is based on the concept of coherence, which can be framed in the most general view of conditional probability. It is useful for the readers familiar with the elementary aspects of propositional calculus, linear algebra, and analysis. Series: Trends in Logic. Num Pages: 295 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBCD; UYA. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 240 x 160 x 15. Weight in Grams: 920.
The approach to probability theory followed in this book (which differs radically from the usual one, based on a measure-theoretic framework) characterizes probability as a linear operator rather than as a measure, and is based on the concept of coherence, which can be framed in the most general view of conditional probability. It is a `flexible' and unifying tool suited for handling, e.g., partial probability assessments (not requiring that the set of all possible `outcomes' be endowed with a previously given algebraic structure, such as a Boolean algebra), and conditional independence, in a way that avoids all the inconsistencies related ...
