Belief Change and Dependence

چکیده
1 I N T R O D U C T I O N The central question in the theory of belief revision is what is meant by a minimal change of a state of belief. The well-known AGM rationali ty postulates for contraction (AlchourrSn et al. 1985, G£rdenfors 1988) partially answer tha t question: ( K i ) K A is a theory.

Kernel Contraction and Base Dependence: Redundancy in the Base Resulting in Different Types of Dependence
The AGM paradigm of belief change studies the dynamics of belief states in light of new information. Finding, or even approximating, dependent or relevant beliefs to a change is valuable because, for example, it can narrow the set of beliefs considered during belief change operations. Gärdenfors’ preservation criterion (GPC) suggests that formulas independent of a belief change should remain in...
متن کاملBelief Change and Base Dependence
A strong intuition for AGM belief change operations, Gärdenfors suggests, is that formulas that are independent of a change should remain intact. Based on this intuition, Farias and Herzig axiomatize a dependence relation w.r.t. a belief set, and formalize the connection between dependence and belief change. In this paper, we introduce base dependence as a relation between formulas w.r.t. a bel...

The AGM paradigm of belief change studies the dynamics of belief states in light of new information. Finding, or even approximating, those beliefs that are dependent on or relevant to a change is valuable because, for example, it can narrow the set of beliefs considered during belief change operations. A strong intuition in this area is captured by Gärdenfors’s preservation criterion (GPC), whi...

Introduction: Diagnosis of tuberculosis under the National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTCP) is based on microscopic examination of sputum. The main objective of this study was to assess the perception of physicians and patients regarding the importance of chest X-ray in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis with a view to suggest corrective measures.
