Propositional, Probabilistic and Evidential Reasoning

More about the book

Addressing the challenge of drawing conclusions from uncertain evidence, this book introduces the Incidence Calculus, a groundbreaking framework that merges symbolic and numeric reasoning. By assigning numeric values to evidence through possible worlds, it enhances symbolic reasoning while also tackling complex issues related to dependent evidence sources. Weiru Liu expands on this calculus, comparing it to previous methods like Dempster-Shafer Theory and Probabilistic Logic, ultimately presenting a unified approach that leverages the strengths of both reasoning styles.
