Harold Jeffreys’ Theory of Probability revisited
Published nearly seventy years ago, Jeffreys’ Theory of Probability (1939) has had a unique impact on the Bayesian community and is now considered to be one of the main classics in Bayesian Statistics as well as the initiator of the objective Bayes school. In particular, its advances on the derivation of noninformative priors as well as on the scaling of Bayes factors have had a lasting impact ...
متن کاملQuantum Probability and Decision Theory, Revisited
An extended analysis is given of the program, originally suggested by Deutsch, of solving the probability problem in the Everett interpretation by means of decision theory. Deutsch’s own proof is discussed, and alternatives are presented which are based upon different decision theories and upon Gleason’s Theorem. It is argued that decision theory gives Everettians most or all of what they need ...
متن کاملGeneralized Qualitative Probability: Savage revisited
Preferences among acts are analyzed in the style of L. Savage, but as partially ordered. The rationality postulates considered are weaker than Savage’s on three counts. The Sure Thing Principle is derived in this setting. The postulates are shown to lead to a characterization of generalized qualitative probability that includes and blends both traditional qualitative probability and the ranked ...
متن کاملA Study on Properties of Dempster-Shafer Theory to Probability Theory transformations
In this paper, five conditions that have been proposed by Cobb and Shenoy are studied for nine different mappings from the Dempster-Shafer theory to the probability theory. After comparing these mappings, one of the considerable results indicates that none of the mappings satisfies the condition of invariance with respect to the marginalization process. In more details, the main reason for this...
