Foundations of the Formal Sciences VI - B Loewe - Bog

Probabilistic methods are increasingly becoming an important
tool in a variety of disciplines including computer science,
mathematics, artificial intelligence, epistemology, game and
decision theory and linguistics. In addition to the discussion
on applications of probabilistic methods there is an important
philosophical debate concerning the precise meaning and
interpretation of probabilistic and statistical statements.
This volume contains fully refereed versions of papers presented at the sixth installment of the conference series Foundations of the Formal Sciences (FotFS) which was an
interdisciplinary venue bringing together researchers using
probabilistic and statistical methods in their respective fields
and researchers who are concerned with the philosophical
interpretation of probability and statistics to exchange ideas,
approaches and techniques. The conference FotFS VI
facilitated discussions about the applicability of probabilistic
methods and helped to ground foundational debates with
concerns for practitioners of probabilistic methods.
