Using methodologies from axiomatic decision theory, and, in particular, the authors' case-based decision theory, the present studies attempt to ask what inductive conclusions can be derived from existing databases. It is shown that simple consistency rules lead to similarity-weighted aggregation, akin to kernel-based methods. It is suggested that the similarity function be estimated from the data. The incorporation of rule-based reasoning is discussed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase-Based Decision Theory; Act Similarity in Case-Based Decision Theory; A Cognitive Foundation of Probability; Inductive Inference: An Axiomatic Approach; Expected Utility in the Context of a Game; Subjective Distributions; Probabilities as Similarity-Weighted Frequencies; Fact-Free Learning; Empirical Similarity; Axiomatization of an Exponential Similarity Function; On the Definition of Objective Probabilities by Empirical Similarity; Likelihood and Simplicity: An Axiomatic Approach.","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047415611735,"sku":"9789814366175","price":102.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789814366175.jpg?v=1750971482","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/case-based-predictions-an-axiomatic-approach-to-prediction-classification-and-statistical-learning-9789814366175","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
