Description for Probabilistic Logic in a Coherent Setting
Hardback. The approach to probability theory followed in this book characterizes probability as a linear operator, and is based on the concept of coherence. It is a 'flexible' and unifying tool suited for handling partial probability assessments, and conditional independence, in a way that avoids the inconsistencies related to logical dependence. Series: Trends in Logic. Num Pages: 295 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBCD; UYA. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 17. Weight in Grams: 597.
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 ...
