... Strategic probability measures are also sometimes termed disintegrable. Dubins (1975, Theorem 1) demonstrated that this property is equivalent to another, apparently different one, the earlier property of conglomerability, discovered by de Finetti (1930 and 1972, 98). The Lane-Sudderth notion of coh ...

6 The Basic Rules of Probability

Perhaps most of us do not attend closely to the exact wording of the question, "Which of statements (aHf) are ...

This represents the event that the first k tosses were heads and the last n − k tosses were tails. Since each toss is independent of the outcome of ...

Subjectivistic Interpretations of Probability
... Degrees of belief are to be interpreted behavioristically. Ramsey first proposed that degrees of belief be measured by betting odds: if one is willing to bet at odds of 1:5 on the occurrence of a three on the roll of a die, but at no higher odds, then one's degree of belief is 1/(1 5) = +.As Ramsey ...
