  1. Jun 13, 2024 · Probability theory, a branch of mathematics concerned with the analysis of random phenomena. The outcome of a random event cannot be determined before it occurs, but it may be any one of several possible outcomes. The actual outcome is considered to be determined by chance.

  2. Jul 2, 2024 · Theories of probability connect the mathematics of probability to the real world. As you might expect, bridging mathematics to reality is not so easy—the philosophical problems are deep, and it is hard to be consistent without being circular. We shall examine three theories of probability.

  3. Jun 26, 2024 · Read this article. In this paper Venn's account of probability inference and induction is examined, tracing their differences as well as how they ‘co-operate’ in inferences from particulars to particulars.
