The emergence of reasons conjecture

J. B. Paris, A. Vencovská

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In this paper we show how the maxent paradigm may be used to produce an inductive method (in the sense of Carnap) applicable to a wide class of problems in inductive logic. We then state a conjecture about the answers given by this method and prove the conjecture in a particular case which extends all previous partial confirmations. ©2003 Elsevier B.V.
