We introduce a family of probabilistic justification logics that feature Bayesian confirmations. Our logics include new justification terms representing evidence that make a proposition firm in the sense of making it more probable. We present syntax and semantics of our logic and establish soundness and strong completeness. Moreover, we show how to formalize in our logic the screening-off condition for transitivity of Bayesian confirmations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
