We show that if there are enough parallel sessions, then not being able to pick “good” verifier responses in just one random session introduces only a small statistical error; since session i is picked uniformly at random at the beginning, this suffices ...

... unlike games of chance, fair prices could not be deduced from assumptions about equal chances. Chances might not be equal. Probabilities in practical problems would have to be found from observation. Bernoulli proved, within his theory, that this would be possible. He proved that if a large number o ...

I then show why the same strategy is not available for conditionals if (T) is to hold in general, and how this problem is avoided by making the interpretation of the conditional dependent upon the probability dist ...

Theory of Decision under Uncertainty
... In considering the four questions above, it is sometimes suggested that the fourth is conceptually more difficult than the others because it involves decisions of human beings, who have goals and desires, beliefs and ideas, and perhaps also free will. Can we hope to predict the behavior that results f ...

Combinatorial Probability
... The probability of getting none of these hands can be computed by summing the values for (a) through (g) (recall that (d) includes (h)) and subtracting the result from 1. However, it is much simpler to observe that we have nothing if we have five different values that do not make a straight or a flu ...

In a Bayesian analysis we can insert as many parameters as we want, but constrain them with priors. Suppose e.g. based on a theoretical bias for things not too bumpy, that a ...
