Didactical note: probabilistic conditionality in a Boolean algebra.

Enric Trillas, Claudi Alsina, Settimo Termini (1996)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

This note deals with two logical topics and concerns Boolean Algebras from an elementary point of view. First we consider the class of operations on a Boolean Algebra that can be used for modelling If-then propositions. These operations, or Conditionals, are characterized under the hypothesis that they only obey to the Modus Ponens-Inequality, and it is shown that only six of them are boolean two-place functions. Is the Conditional Probability the Probability of a Conditional? This problem...

Relational probabilities on intuitionistic lattices.

Enric Trillas (1988)

Stochastica

Similarity:

In this paper we present and develop, only elementarily, an axiomatic frame for some special fuzzy relations, the so called relational probabilities, which happen to be families of functions which in some cases are quantic probabilities [1] on sublattices of a given lattice; in this way we obtain calculations similar to the ordinary ones but based on a weaker lattice background. This framework is inspired on the presentation of conditional probability on Boolean algebras made in [5]...

A nonstandard modification of Dempster combination rule

Ivan Kramosil (2002)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

It is a well-known fact that the Dempster combination rule for combination of uncertainty degrees coming from two or more sources is legitimate only if the combined empirical data, charged with uncertainty and taken as random variables, are statistically (stochastically) independent. We shall prove, however, that for a particular but large enough class of probability measures, an analogy of Dempster combination rule, preserving its extensional character but using some nonstandard and...
