Probabilistic Lattices

Download or read book Probabilistic Lattices written by Louis Narens and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books on lattice theory in the field, but none interfaces with the foundations of probability. This book does. It also develops new probability theories with rigorous foundations for decision theory and applies them to specific well-known problematic examples. There is only one other book that attempts this. It uses quantum probability theory from physics. The new probability theories developed in this book are different; they are not borrowed from physics but are explicitly designed for decision theory.
