On the imprecision of full conditional probabilities
Synthese 199 (1-2):3761-3782 (2021)
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to show that if one adopts conditional probabilities as the primitive concept of probability, one must deal with the fact that even in very ordinary circumstances at least some probability values may be imprecise, and that some probability questions may fail to have numerically precise answers.Author's Profile
