Cox theorem


The Cox theorem (by the name of physicist and statistician Richard Threlkeld Cox) is a derivation of probability laws from a certain set of postulates. This derivation justifies the so-called "logical" interpretation of probability. As the probability laws derived from this theorem are applicable to every proposition, the logical probability is a variety of Bayesian probability.

Other forms of Bayesian probabilities (such as subjective interpretation) are given by other justifications. Voices correlateemodify wikitesto
