Maximum Entropy and Probability Kinematics Constrained by Conditionals

Maximum Entropy and Probability Kinematics Constrained by Conditionals

Two open questions of inductive reasoning are solved: (1) does the principle of maximum entropy (PME) give a solution to the obverse Majerník problem; and (2) isWagner correct when he claims that Jeffrey’s updating principle (JUP) contradicts PME? Majerník shows that PME provides unique and plausibl...
