The Uses of Probability and the Choice of a Reference Class
... course, presupposing a standard logic. Furthermore, axioms I and II entail that this standard logic is consistent. Since we are supposing not only a first order logic, but a whole set theory, this consistency is not demonstrable. Nevertheless we always do suppose, so long as we know no better, that ...

The Difference Between Selection and Drift: A Reply
... The primary point of Brandon and Carson (1996) is that the process of evolution by natural selection is autonomously indeterministic, i.e., indeterministic in a way that follows directly from the theory of evolution by natural selection.2 That is a strong conclusion and the reader of this discussion ...

Chapter 5. Basic Concepts of Probability Part II

The usefulness of "reducing" common-sense concepts of probability to precise statements of proportionality is that they can then be subjected to the powerful analytical apparatus of mathematical calculation. Under certain circumstances they can be added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided. And while ...

... and let {Ft∗ }t ≥0 be the filtration of the process {W ∗ (t )}t ≥0 . Then (a) {W ∗ (t )}t ≥0 is a standard Brownian motion; and (b) For each t > 0, the σ−algebra Ft∗ is independent of Fτ . Details of the proof are omitted (see, for example, K ARATZAS & S HREVE, pp. 79ff). Let’s discuss briefly the m ...
