Statistical and Inductive Probabilities (Dover Books on Mathematics Series)

This even-handed treatment addresses the decades-old dispute among probability theorists, asserting that both statistical and inductive probabilities may be treated as sentence-theoretic measurements, and that the latter qualify as estimates of the former. Discusses sentence theory, set theory, statistical probabilities, inductive probabilities, more. Illustrations and footnotes elucidate definitions, theorems, and technicalities. 1962 edition.
