Probabilistic Foundations of Rabbinic Methods for Resolving Uncertainty
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider several fundamental principles of rabbinic approaches to handling uncertainty for legal purposes. We find that nonnumerical versions of ideas subsequently developed in the literature on interpretations of probabilistic statements are useful for explicating these rabbinic principles.

The Talmud frequently discusses situations in which a legal decision must be made in the face of uncertainty with regard to the facts. Such discussions invoke a number of different principles but at least some of these principles are not given explicit formal definition and the relationships between them are not spelled out. In this paper, I will formally define each of the variety of rabbinic ...
متن کاملRule-based joint fuzzy and probabilistic networks
One of the important challenges in Graphical models is the problem of dealing with the uncertainties in the problem. Among graphical networks, fuzzy cognitive map is only capable of modeling fuzzy uncertainty and the Bayesian network is only capable of modeling probabilistic uncertainty. In many real issues, we are faced with both fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainties. In these cases, the propo...
متن کاملCombining Interval and Probabilistic Uncertainty: Foundations, Algorithms, Challenges – An Overview
Since the 1960s, many algorithms have been designed to deal with interval uncertainty. In the last decade, there has been a lot of progress in extending these algorithms to the case when we have a combination of interval and probabilistic uncertainty. We provide an overview of related algorithms, results, and remaining open problems.
متن کاملCapacitor Placement in Distorted Distribution Network Subject to Wind and Load Uncertainty
Utilizing capacitor banks is very conventional in distribution network in order for local compensation of reactive power. This will be more important considering uncertainties including wind generation and loads uncertainty. Harmonics and non-linear loads are other challenges in power system which complicates the capacitor placement problem. Thus, uncertainty and network harmonics have been con...
متن کاملExplanation in Probabilistic Systems: Is It Feasible? Will It Work?
Reasoning within such domains as engineering, science, management, or medicine is traditionally based on formal methods employing probabilistic treatment of uncertainty. It seems natural to base artificial reasoning systems in these domains on the normative foundations of probability theory. Two usual objections to this approach are (1) probabilistic inference is computationally intractable in ...
