81. Probabilistic Causation
    Probabilistic Causation designates a group of philosophical theories that aim to characterize the relationship between cause and effect using the tools of probability theory. A primary motivation for the development of such theories is the desire for a theory of causation that does not presuppose physical determinism.

    Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free ceteris paribus clause more precise. This article traces these developments, as well as recent, related developments in causal modeling. Issues within, and objections to, probabilistic theories of causation will also be discussed. an object, followed by another, and where all the objects similar to the first, are followed by objects similar to the second Suggested Readings: Hume (1748), especially section VII. The first difficulty is that most causes are not invariably followed by their effects. For example, it is widely accepted that smoking is a cause of lung cancer, but it is also recognized that not all smokers develop lung cancer. (Likewise, not all non-smokers are spared the ravages of that disease.) By contrast, the central idea behind probabilistic theories of causation is that causes raise the probability of their effects; an effect may still occur in the absence of a cause or fail to occur in its presence. Thus smoking is a cause of lung cancer, not because all smokers develop lung cancer, but because smokers are

82. Probability: What Are Your Chances?-NCES Students' Classroom
    Ever wonder how often an event might happen? Try What Are Your Chances? Gain a little knowledge about probability.

    Extractions: "The probable is what usually happens" - Aristotle. What many people refer to as 'good luck' can actually be explained by a little knowledge about probability and statistics. Our dice game allows you to see how increasing or decreasing the number of dice rolls effects an outcome. So give it a try, choose the number of rolls you would like to make … and roll the dice! "It is a truth very certain that when it is not in our power to determine what is true we ought to follow what is most probable" - Descartes Number of Rolls: Try More Activities!

86. The Monty Hall Problem
    A probability theory puzzle with solutions. English and German.  
    http://www.remote.org/frederik/projects/ziege/
    
    Extractions: [remote] [frederik] [projects] [monty hall] The following problem is taken from a quiz show on TV that really existed (or still exists). It is an interesting topic to discuss in almost any group of people because even the most intelligent often get into trouble, and is (in other languages) referred to as the Goat Problem. New: In compliance with the current domain grabbing hysteria, this page is now also available as http://www.ziegenproblem.de/, which is easier to memorize - at least for speakers of German. The quiz show candidate has mastered all the questions. Now it's all or nothing for one last time: He is lead to a room with three doors. Behind one of them there's an expensive sports car; behind the other two there's a goat. (Don't ask me why it's a goat. That's just the way it is.) The candidate chooses one of the doors. But it is not opened; the host (who knows the location of the sports car) opens one of the other doors instead and shows a goat. The rules of the game, which are known to all participants, require the host to do this irrespective of the candidate's initial choice. The candidate is now asked if he wants to stick with the door he chose originally or if he prefers to switch to the other remaining closed door. His goal is the sports car, of course!

    Find out how likely it is that two people in a class have the same birthday. With an explanation of the math behind this problem and a simulation.  
    http://www.mste.uiuc.edu/reese/birthday/
    
    Extractions: Last revised 8/24/05 Happy Birthday! There's a birthday in your class today! Or will there be two? How likely is it that two people in your class have the same birthday? Say your class has 28 students. There are a number of ways to approach this problem. The most common is to take a survey and see if it happens that two birthdays fall on the same day. But if it happens in the surveyed class, will it occur in another class with different students? The question of how likely it is for any given class is still unanswered. Another way, is to survey more and more classes to get an idea of how often the match would occur. This can be time consuming and may require a lot of work. But a computer can help out. Below is a simulation of the birthday problem. It takes a little while (about 25 seconds) to respond, but it will generate a random list of birthdays time after time. Choose a number for your class size and do 10 trials with that size.

96. Probability Theory As Extended Logic
    A monumental online book by the late ET Jaynes on Bayesian inference. Also has a number of related articles by other authors.  
    http://bayes.wustl.edu/
    
    Extractions: Last Modified Edwin T. Jaynes was one of the first people to realize that probability theory, as originated by Laplace, is a generalization of Aristotelian logic that reduces to deductive logic in the special case that our hypotheses are either true or false. This web site has been established to help promote this interpretation of probability theory by distributing articles, books and related material. As Ed Jaynes originated this interpretation of probability theory we have a large selection of his articles, as well as articles by a number of other people who use probability theory in this way: E. T. Jaynes: Amazon here in the US and from Amazon in the UK. We still have a selection of Dr. Jaynes' articles , and the first three chapters from Jaynes' book on probability theory are now online as a pdf file or as a postscript file. A typed publication quality version of his unpublished book titled "Probability Theory, With Applications in Science and Engineering" that was being prepared for publication in the mid 1970's is available.

     statistical glossary probability. In probability theory we say that two events, A and B, are independent if the probability that they both occur is  
     http://www.stats.gla.ac.uk/steps/glossary/probability.html
     
     Extractions: Event An event is any collection of outcomes of an experiment. Formally, any subset of the sample space is an event. Any event which consists of a single outcome in the sample space is called an elementary or simple event. Events which consist of more than one outcome are called compound events. Set theory is used to represent relationships among events. In general, if A and B are two events in the sample space S, then (A union B) = 'either A or B occurs or both occur' (A intersection B) = 'both A and B occur' (A is a subset of B) = 'if A occurs, so does B'
