The latter two are to account for the possibility of the available information being incomplete or providing contradictory evidence. In this paper, we present a probabilistic extension of BD that permits agents to have probabilistic beliefs about the truth and falsity of a proposition. We provide a sound and complete axiomatization for the framework defined and also identify policies for conditionalization and aggregation. Concretely, we introduce four-valued equivalents of Bayes' and Jeffrey updating and also suggest mechanisms for aggregating information from different sources.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-16T18:57:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03B48", "03B53", "03B42", "60A05" ], "keywords": [ "probabilities", "first degree entailment", "non-classical truth values", "four-valued propositional logic", "information" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
