Read This! The MAA Online book review column An Introduction to Probability and Inductive Logic by Ian Hacking Reviewed by Ramachandran Bharath This book by the distinguished philosopher of probability, Ian Hacking, is titled An Introduction to Probability and Inductive Logic . It would have given a better idea of the scope of the book if the words "and Statistical Inference" had been added to the title. The focus of the book is on showing how probability theory has two functions: it uses deductive logic to find the properties of samples based on assumptions about a population, and inductive logic to draw conclusions about populations based on the measured characteristics or properties of samples. Hacking explores and explains this whole structure in a very readable exposition, giving appropriate examples at every stage. He also weaves into his whole discussion the differences between the frequency theory of probability, which regards probability as essentially long run frequencies, and the Bayesian theory which regards probability as fundamentally concerned with belief and the revision of belief in the light of evidence. As he points out, while there are dogmatists who believe that only one of these views is correct, it is more fruitful to take an eclectic view which regards these two views as each more appropriate in certain situations.

The Main Philosophical Tenets of Logical Positivism.] f. Probability and Inductive Logic. There were two different theories about probability proposed by the logical positivists: Frequency Interpretation: the probability is the limit of a frequency. Logical Interpretation: the probability is the degree of confirmation a statement receives from a given set of other statements. According to Reichenbach, the meaning of a statement such as "the probability of P given Q is r " is that the limit of the relative frequency of objects P in the set of objects Q is r . That is, in a large sample of the set Q [say

Freedom to Tinker Super Tuesday Must-Read Books: My List March 1st, 2004 by Ed Felten Below is my list of six must-read books on science and technology. I know: I asked you for five, and now I’ve allowed myself six. I just couldn’t narrow it down any more. Naturally, I include only books that I have read; and I must admit that I haven’t read many of the books suggested by readers. You all have added considerably to my books-to-read list. The hardest aspect of this task was that I read most of candidate books long ago, so I no longer remember clearly what I learned from which book. And I’m sure the forty-year-old me of today would disagree with the twenty-year-old me who read some of these books. With that caveat, here is my list, in alphabetical order: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs . A serious computer science textbook, this imparts more computer science ideas than any other book I have seen. It will be a challenging book for many people, but heeding Dan Simon’s advice to respect my audience, I’m including it anyway. If this book goes over your head, try Hofstadter’s Goedel, Escher, Bach

progic07: The Third Workshop on Combining Probability and Logic Special focus: probabilistic logics and probabilistic networks 5-7 September 2007 Keynes College Lecture Room 2, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK (N6 on this map INTRODUCTION There are a plethora of views as to the relationship between probability and logic and a panoply of proposals for combining the two. In particular, probabilistic logics offer formal combinations of probability and logic - often, however, at the expense of perspicuity and tractability. The question arises as to whether probabilistic networks might be used to render probabilistic logics more comprehensible and computationally feasible. In this workshop we aim to bring researchers from a variety of disciplines together to assess the prospects of applying probabilistic networks to probabilistic logics, and more generally to elucidate the relationship between probability and logic. We hope that the themes of the workshop will be of interest to mathematicians, logicians, philosophers, computer scientists, statisticians, psychologists and engineers, for example. Invited speakers include: Gert de Cooman Fabio Cozman Pedro Domingos Lise Getoor ... Linda van der Gaag can no longer attend because of illness.

The Philosophy of Rudolf Carnap based on the intellectual autobiography in Overview: A survey of the philosophy of Rudolf Carnap using his own breakdown into ten problem areas. Pseudo Problems in Philosophy The rejection of metaphysics using the analytic/synthetic dichotomy and the verification principle. The Foundations of Mathematics Logicism with added extracts of Formalism Physicalism and the Unity of Science Different branches of science are fundamentally parts of a single unified science of physical things (i.e. are reducible to physics). The Logical Syntax of Language A purely analytic theory of the structure of linguistic expressions. Liberalisation of Empiricism The abandonment of foundationalism and of the principle of verifiability. Semantics Carnap broadens his metalingual theory to encompass semantics, with particular concern for the semantic definition of logical truth and the distinction between logical and factual truth. Language Planning The principle of tolerance leads to linguistic pluralism and to the need for planning how a number of languages can be fitted together yielding a system fulfilling given desiderata. Probability and Inductive Logic In order to support his analytic inductive logic Carnap developed a notion of logical or inductive probability.

Session #1: Deductive and Inductive Inference An argument consists of a set of premises and a conclusion. An argument is deductively valid if and only if it is impossible for all the premises to be true and the conclusion false. By analogy, one might say that an argument is inductively valid if and only if it is improbable that all the premises are true and the conclusion false. In any case, one wants to know how strongly the premises or evidence in an inductive argument support the conclusion. This strength clearly comes in degrees. A. Deductive Logic 1.

Delimiters ( and ) punctuate the statement so one knows what order to apply the logical operations. are defined by the standard truth tables. Example: P therefore Q is a valid truth-functional argument. 2. First-Order (or Predicate) Logic a. Everything from truth-functional logic b. Names a, b, c, d, etc. represent specific objects c.

Teaching Theory of Knowledge Probability and Induction CONTRIBUTORS: Brad Armendt, Martin Curd. Some philosophers have affirmed that induction and probable reasoning lead to knowledge. Others have been skeptical. Some philosophers have thought that probability was an ingredient in the traditional analysis of knowledge. Others have thought that a theory of probability should replace traditional epistemology. It is clear, however, that an understanding of induction, probability, and confirmation are essential for a resolution of these issues as well as others pertaining to epistemology. It is the intention of this module to provide the materials for study that would yield understanding of the relevant issues. Divisions in the module: Introduction to probability and induction Hume's problem Historical treatment of Hume's argument. Responses to the problem(s) Hume has been perceived as raising. ... Theory of confirmation Most sections include a brief discussion of the issues as well as a list of references for that topic. Starred members [*] of the list are more central to the topic, or are good introductions to it; unstarred members are usually more specialized and often more difficult than the starred entries. We have made an effort to provide suggestions that represent a variety of approaches, but the recommendations that follow are unavoidably biased in accordance with our interests and knowledge. Anthologies and collections of papers . The following books are cited by references in the sections that follow. Some are collections of papers that are of general interest. and some are more specialized.

QUINE'S PRAGMATIST CRITIQUE Semantical Systems: Probability and Induction In his article "Testability and Meaning" in Philosophy of Science (1936) Carnap abandoned the idea of verification, because he concluded that hypotheses about unobserved events in the physical world can never be completely verified by observational evidence. Thus he proposed instead the probabilistic idea of confirmation. He became interested in the philosophy of probability in 1941, when he considered that the concept of logical probability might supply an exact quantitative explication of the concept of confirmation of a hypothesis with respect to a given body of evidence, such that it would become possible to speak of a degree of confirmation in a measurable sense. Up to that time there were fundamentally two kinds of concepts of probability, which were proposed by their advocates as alternatives.

Confirmation Home Syllabus Professor Branden Fitelson branden@fitelson.org Office: 132 Moses Hall 234 Moses Hall (Dennes) TOC: Synopsis Readings Requirements Website ... Tentative Schedule Synopsis qua logical/epistemological theory . Specifically, we will focus mainly on various historical approaches to (and problems/paradoxes involving) instantial A Treatise on Probability . The climax of Part I will involve a careful reading of Goodman's (1955) "New Riddle of Induction". The denouement of Part I will involve the subjective (Bayesian) turn in confirmation theory that happened after Goodman (in the 1960's), and which continues to be dominant today. Part II (the last 2 weeks) of the seminar will be concerned with some recent applications of confirmation theory to problems in cognitive science . Specifically, we will look at the Wason Selection Task and the Conjunction Fallacy from the point of view of confirmation theory (broadly construed). TOC Readings . I recommend reading the required readings very carefully, and then moving on to the further readings (which may typically be read a little less closely) as your schedule permits. TOC Requirements The only requirement for this seminar will be a single 15-page term paper, which will be due at the end of the semester.

Papers on Lvov-Warsaw School Reichenbach's Probability Logic and the Lvov-Warsaw School Jan Wolenski (Jagiellonian University - Cracow) Reichenbach himself also offers a geography of probability logic (3). He distinguishes (so called by him) the disparity theory and the identity theory. The problem consists in how are related two concepts of probability, namely that which is applied to sentences and that which is applied to events. On the identity con- ception, the frequency theory of probability is applicable to all concepts of probability: "sentential" probability theory is just isomorphic to "evential" theory of probability; Reichenbach defends the identity theory. According to Carnap, we have the abstract theory of probability which subjected either to statistical interpretation or to logical one. The frequency interpretation is is proper only with respect to statistical probability whereas logical probability is organized by the concept of partial entailment. Thus Carnap's inductive logic is an example of the disparity theory (4). Reichenbach mentioned his idea of probability logic for the first time in 1929. It happened at "Tagung ftr Erkenntnislehre der exakten Wissenschaften" in Prague where he delivered a talk "Kausalitat umd Wahrscheinlichkeit" (11). He suggested probability logic which "umschliesst die strenge (two-valued - J. W.) Logik als einen speziellen Fall der Wahrschewinlichkeit [...] sie verhalt sich zu dieser etwas wie die R i e m a n i s c h e Geometrie zur Eukliischen" (12). In the discussion after his talk, he added: "die Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie in Rahmen der klassischen Logik keine Aufklarung finden kann" (13). He repeated the same in 1930: "in Wahrscheinlichteitslogik eine induktive Einscheidbarkeit und eine stetige Skala von Wahrcheitswerten auftritt, an Stelle der strenger Endscheidbarkeit und der zwei Wahrheitswerte der stren- gen Logik" (14).

For other article subjects named induction, see Induction Induction or inductive reasoning , sometimes called inductive logic , is the process of reasoning in which the premises of an argument are believed to support the conclusion but do not ensure it. It is used to ascribe properties or relations to types based on tokens (i.e., on one or a small number of observations or experiences); or to formulate laws based on limited observations of recurring phenomenal patterns. Induction is employed, for example, in using specific propositions such as: This ice is cold. A billiard ball moves when struck with a cue. ...to infer general propositions such as: All ice is cold. All billiard balls struck with a cue move. Inductive reasoning has been attacked several times. Historically, David Hume denied its logical admissibility. During the twentieth century, thinkers such as

Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Inductive Logic First published Mon Sep 6, 2004; substantive revision Mon Oct 10, 2005 An inductive logic is a system of reasoning that extends deductive logic to less-than-certain inferences. In a valid deductive argument the premises logically entail the conclusion, where such entailment means that the truth of the premises provides a guarantee of the truth of the conclusion. Similarly, in a good inductive argument the premises should provide some degree of support for the conclusion, where such support means that the truth of the premises indicates with some degree of strength that the conclusion is true. Presumably, if the logic of good inductive arguments is to be of any real value, the measure of support it articulates should meet the following condition: Criterion of Adequacy (CoA) As evidence accumulates, the degree to which the collection of true evidence statements comes to support a hypothesis, as measured by the logic, should tend to indicate that false hypotheses are probably false and that true hypotheses are probably true.

Introduction to the theory of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) Inductive Inference Inverse Resolution Relative Least General Generalisation (rlgg) Inverse Implication (II) ... Research Issues Inductive Inference Inductive inference is, in a sense, the inverse of deduction. However, deductive inference proceeds by application of sound rules of inference, while inductive inference typically involves unsound conjecture. Deductive inference derives consequences E from a prior theory T. Similarly, inductive inference derives a general belief T from specific beliefs E. In both deduction and induction T and E must be consistent and Within ILP it is usual to separate the above elements into examples (E), background knowledge (B), and hypothesis (H). These have the relationship B, H and E are each logic programs. E usually consists of ground unit clauses of a single target predicate. E can be separated into positive examples (E+), as ground unit definite clauses and negative examples (E-), ground unit headless Horn clauses. However, the separation into B, H and E is a matter of convenience Inverse Resolution Logic Programming relies heavily on Robinson's seminal work on Resolution Theorem Proving. He demonstrated that deductive inference in the first order predicate calculus could be effected by the single Resolution rule of inference. This forms a basis for the programming system Prolog.

Lecture 14 Inductive Logic Programming Having studied a non-symbolic approach to machine learning (Artificial Neural Networks), we return to a logical approach, namely Inductive Logic Programming (ILP). As the name suggests, the representation scheme used in this approach is logic programs, which we covered in lecture 6. As a quick overview, one search strategy for ILP systems is to invert rules of deduction and therefore induce hypotheses which may solve the learning problem. In order to understand ILP, we will define a context for ILP, and use this to state the machine learning problem being addressed. Following this, we will look at the search operators in ILP, in particular the notion of inverting resolution in order to generate hypotheses. We will consider how the search is undertaken and run through a session with the Progol ILP system. We end by looking at some of the applications of Inductive Logic Programming. 14.1 Problem Context and Specification The development of Inductive Logic Programming has been heavily formal (mathematical) in nature, because the major people in the field believe that this is the only way to progress and to show progress. It means that we have to (re-)introduce some notation, and we will use this to formally specify the machine learning problem faced by ILP programs. To do this, we first need to refresh and re-represent our knowledge about logic programs, and define background, example and hypothesis logic programs. Following this, we will specify some

Physics Help and Math Help - Physics Forums PF Lounge General Discussion Philosophy ... PDA View Full Version : Should we be skeptical of inductive logic in the sciences? Doctordick I notice that the entire "Skepticism and debunking" area (sorry, I had to correct the spelling – it just overwhelmed me) is entirely devoted to issues which are unaccepted by the scientific community: i.e., there is nothing there expressing any skepticism at all regarding accepted science. Now from the perspective that errors might exist in the current perspective (it should be clear to all that scientific breakthroughs related to errors in presumed truths have occurred throughout history) it seems to me that a little skepticism there would be healthy. :rofl: I have been posting on "physicsforums" for almost two years now but have managed to achieve little communicative success (I seem to have instead generated a lot of hostile reactions). I have seriously tried to understand why I have engendered hostility in exactly the people I would like to be talking to (that would be the competent educated component). Much has been said about my attitude but I don't really believe that. Instead I think it is criticism of their beliefs which has turned these people off; skepticism with regard to their basic viewpoint. An issue I suspect I have really not really explained very well. :yuck: My background is in theoretical physics (the area in which I earned my Ph.D.) and I have had utterly no training in philosophy. The attitude in the physics community (which I was certainly educated to believe) is pretty well the position that philosophical issues are of no scientific interest. Thus it is that I didn't fully really realize that my problems with conventional physics were exactly with the philosophy of science held sacrosanct by the community until recently (I have recently read a little philosophy).:tongue2:

45. Lecture 8 We ve already made informal use of the notion of Probability. Popper thought that Carnap s inductive logicindeed, the very idea of inductive http://www.soc.iastate.edu/Sapp/phil_sci_lecture08.html

Lecture 8 Carnap vs. Popper The idea is to say when we "test" scientific theories, and then form opinions regarding those theories based on such tests. What does scientific investigation consist in, and what are the rules governing it? Induction - Scientific investigation is a type of inductive process, where we increase the evidential basis for or against a particular theory without the evidence conclusively establishing the theory. "Induction" has had various meanings in the past: in the Renaissance, it was thought that the way to develop scientific theories was to examine all the evidence you could and then extrapolate from that to form theories. (This was a method of developing theories as well as a method of justifying them.) This was in contrast to positing "hypotheses" about unobservable entities to explain the phenomena. (Indeed, Newton was criticized for formulating such "hypotheses.") This view did not survive, however, since it became apparent that you can't form theories in this way. Thus, we have to understand "induction" differently (supposing that it is a useful concept at all). Carnap is an inductivist, and in this respect he differs from Popper. However, both agree (taking inspiration from Hume) that there is a serious problem with the justification of "inductive inference." Carnap discusses it in terms of a puzzle about how we arrive at and form opinions regarding laws. (Note that notion of a law that Carnap assumes is similar to Hempel's.) Laws are universal statements (at least), hence apply to an at least potentially infinite domain. However, our empirical data is always finite. (Consider ideal gas law.) What does deductive logic give us to evaluate theories?
