  • Janus-Faced Probability

    by Paolo Rocchi ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    The problem of probability interpretation was long overlooked before exploding in the 20th century, when the frequentist and subjectivist schools formalized two conflicting conceptions of probability. Beyond the radical followers of the two schools, a circle of pluralist thinkers tends to reconcile the opposing concepts. The author uses two theorems in order to prove that the various ...

  • Reliability is a New Science

    Gnedenko Was Right

    by Paolo Rocchi ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This work illustrates research conducted over a ten-year timespan and addresses a fundamental issue in reliability theory. This still appears to be an empirically disorganized field and the book suggests employing a deductive base in order to evolve reliability as a science. The study is in line with the fundamental work by Gnedenko.Boris Vladimirovich Gnedenko (1912 – 1995) was a Soviet ... Read more

    Problems with Quantum Mechanics in the Context of a Novel Probability Theory

    by Paolo Rocchi ...
    Series Book 16 - World Scientific Series in Information Studies
    This book deals with two main topics. The first is a theory that aims to unify the many interpretations of probability presented in the literature. The second uses this comprehensive theory of probability to answer the questions of quantum mechanics that have long been debated. The entire book proposes original solutions that several experimental cases substantiate.Contents:About the AuthorAbout ... Read more

  • Probability Theory

    The Logic of Science

    by E. T. Jaynes ...
    The standard rules of probability can be interpreted as uniquely valid principles in logic. In this book, E. T. Jaynes dispels the imaginary distinction between 'probability theory' and 'statistical inference', leaving a logical unity and simplicity, which provides greater technical power and flexibility in applications. This book goes beyond the conventional mathematics of probability theory, ... Read more

  • Out of Time

    A Philosophical Study of Timelessness

    by Samuel Baron, Kristie Miller, Jonathan Tallant ...
    The idea that time does not exist is, for many, unthinkable: time must exist. Almost every experience we have tells us so. There has been plenty of debate around what time is like, but not whether it exists. The goal of this book is to make the absence of time thinkable. Time might not exist. Beginning with an empirically flavoured examination of the 'folk' concept of time, the book explores the ... Read more

  • What Makes Time Special?

    by Craig Callender ...
    As we navigate through life we instinctively model time as having a flowing present that divides a fixed past from open future. This model develops in childhood and is deeply saturated within our language, thought and behavior, affecting our conceptions of the universe, freedom and the self. Yet as central as it is to our lives, physics seems to have no room for this flowing present. What Makes ... Read more

  • The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Time

    Edited by Craig Callender ...
    Series series Oxford Handbooks
    As the study of time has flourished in the physical and human sciences, the philosophy of time has come into its own as a lively and diverse area of academic research. Philosophers investigate not just the metaphysics of time, and our experience and representation of time, but the role of time in ethics and action, and philosophical issues in the sciences of time, especially with regard to quantum ...

  • Models and Theories

    A Philosophical Inquiry

    by Roman Frigg ...
    Models and theories are of central importance in science, and scientists spend substantial amounts of time building, testing, comparing and revising models and theories. It is therefore not surprising that the nature of scientific models and theories has been a widely debated topic within the philosophy of science for many years.The product of two decades of research, this book provides an ...

  • Scientific Representation

    Paradoxes of Perspective

    by Bas C. van Fraassen ...
    Bas C. van Fraassen presents an original exploration of how we represent the world. Science represents natural phenomena by means of theories, as well as in many concrete ways by such means as pictures, graphs, table-top models, and computer simulations. Scientific Representation begins with an inquiry into the nature of representation in general, drawing on such diverse sources as Plato's ... Read more

  • Algebraic Geometry and Statistical Learning Theory

    by Sumio Watanabe ...
    Series Book 25 - Cambridge Monographs on Applied and Computational Mathematics
    Sure to be influential, this book lays the foundations for the use of algebraic geometry in statistical learning theory. Many widely used statistical models and learning machines applied to information science have a parameter space that is singular: mixture models, neural networks, HMMs, Bayesian networks, and stochastic context-free grammars are major examples. Algebraic geometry and singularity ... Read more

  • Emergence

    by Paul Humphreys ...
    Interest in emergence amongst philosophers and scientists has grown in recent years, yet the concept continues to be viewed with skepticism by many. In this book, Paul Humphreys argues that many of the problems arise from a long philosophical tradition that is overly committed to synchronic reduction and has been overly focused on problems in philosophy of mind. He develops a novel account of ... Read more
