Abundance has at least some intuitive grounding in our linguistic use: most of the times, when we say “tomorrow it is going to rain” we do not claim that this is certain, only that there are reasons to assert it, but since there may also be reasons for asserting its negation, both seem to be tenable ...

Justification logic with approximate conditional probabilities
... Justification logic [5] is a variant of modal logic that ‘unfolds’ the 2-modality into justification terms, i.e., justification logics replaces modal formulas 2α with formulas of the form t:α where t is a justification term. The first justification logic, the Logic of Proofs, was developed by Artemo ...

Bayesian inference
Bayesian inference is a method of statistical inference in which Bayes' theorem is used to update the probability for a hypothesis as evidence is acquired. Bayesian inference is an important technique in statistics, and especially in mathematical statistics. Bayesian updating is particularly important in the dynamic analysis of a sequence of data. Bayesian inference has found application in a wide range of activities, including science, engineering, philosophy, medicine, and law. In the philosophy of decision theory, Bayesian inference is closely related to subjective probability, often called ""Bayesian probability"".
