Probability revision, the uniformity rule, and the Chan-Darwiche metric

Abstract

The author has proposed a rule of probability revision dictating that identical learning be reflected in identical ratios of new to old odds. Following this rule ensures that the final result of a sequence of probability revisions is undisturbed by an alteration in the temporal order of the learning prompting these revisions. There is also a close connection between this rule and an intriguing metric on probability measures introduced by Chan and Darwiche. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
