Examples

  • This sort of change cannot be explained by conditionalization.

    Bayesian Epistemology Talbott, William 2008

  • The first diachronic Dutch Book Argument in support of a principle of conditionalization was reported by Teller, who credited David Lewis.

    Bayesian Epistemology Talbott, William 2008

  • In addition, the convergence results depend on the assumption that the only changes in probabilities that occur are those that are the non-inferential results of observation on evidential statements and those that result from conditionalization on such evidential statements.

    Bayesian Epistemology Talbott, William 2008

  • For Bayesians, the most important probabilistic rule of inference is given by a principle of conditionalization.

    Bayesian Epistemology Talbott, William 2008

  • The formal apparatus itself has two main elements: the use of the laws of probability as coherence constraints on rational degrees of belief (or degrees of confidence) and the introduction of a rule of probabilistic inference, a rule or principle of conditionalization.

    Bayesian Epistemology Talbott, William 2008

  • For conditionalization to come into play, there must be a change in the probability of the evidence statement

    Bayesian Epistemology Talbott, William 2008

  • Many arguments have been given for regarding the probability laws as coherence conditions on degrees of belief and for taking some principle of conditionalization to be a rule of probabilistic inference.

    Bayesian Epistemology Talbott, William 2008

  • This in turn has ramifications for updating rules, in particular calling into question the appropriateness of conditionalization.

    Interpretations of Probability Hájek, Alan 2007

  • Still another way Aumann's result might fail is if agents do not have common knowledge that they update their beliefs by Bayesian conditionalization.

    Common Knowledge Vanderschraaf, Peter 2007

  • And knowing that they are all competent odds makers, they have common knowledge that they update by Bayesian conditionalization.
