Towards a probability logic based on statistical reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Logical argument forms are investigated by second order probability density functions. When the premises are expressed by beta distributions, the conclusions usually are mixtures of beta distributions. If the shape parameters of the distributions are assumed to be additive (natural sampling), then the lower and upper bounds of the mixing distributions (Pólya-Eggenberger distributions) are parallel to the corresponding lower and upper probabilities in conditional probability logic.

ROBUSTNESS OF THE TRIPLE IMPLICATION INFERENCE METHOD BASED ON THE WEIGHTED LOGIC METRIC
This paper focuses on the robustness problem of full implication triple implication inference method for fuzzy reasoning. First of all, based on strong regular implication, the weighted logic metric for measuring distance between two fuzzy sets is proposed. Besides, under this metric, some robustness results of the triple implication method are obtained, which demonstrates that the triple impli...
متن کاملLp: A Logic for Statistical Information
This extended abstract presents a logic, called Lp, that is capable of representing and reasoning with a wide variety of both qualitative and quantitative statistical information. The advantage of this logical formalism is that it offers a declarative representation of statistical knowledge; knowledge represented in this manner can be used for a variety of reasoning tasks. The logic differs fro...
متن کاملProbabilistic Cognition for Technical Systems: Statistical Relational Models for High-Level Knowledge Representation, Learning and Reasoning
For the realisation of cognitive capabilities in technical systems such as autonomous robots, the integration of many distinct cognitive resources that support learning and reasoning mechanisms can help to overcome the many challenges posed by the real world. Since many real-world problems involve uncertainty, this work explores the potential of statistical relational models as a resource for p...
متن کاملFraming human inference by coherence based probability logic
We take coherence based probability logic as the basic reference theory to model human deductive reasoning. The conditional and probabilistic argument forms are explored. We give a brief overview of recent developments of combining logic and probability in psychology. A study on conditional inferences illustrates our approach. First steps towards a process model of conditional inferences conclu...
متن کاملA Logic For Inductive Probabilistic Reasoning
Inductive probabilistic reasoning is understood as the application of inference patterns that use statistical background information to assign (subjective) probabilities to single events. The simplest such inference pattern is direct inference: from “70% of As are Bs” and “a is an A” infer that a is a B with probability 0.7. Direct inference is generalized by Jeffrey’s rule and the principle of...
