Opis

Probabilistic methods are increasingly becoming an importanttool in a variety of disciplines including computer science,mathematics, artificial intelligence, epistemology, game and decision theory and linguistics. In addition to the discussionon applications of probabilistic methods there is an importantphilosophical debate concerning the precise meaning andinterpretation of probabilistic and statistical statements. This volume contains fully refereed versions of papers presented at the sixth installment of the conference series Foundations of the Formal Sciences (FotFS) which was aninterdisciplinary venue bringing together researchers usingprobabilistic and statistical methods in their respective fieldsand researchers who are concerned with the philosophicalinterpretation of probability and statistics to exchange ideas,approaches and techniques. The conference FotFS VIfacilitated discussions about the applicability of probabilisticmethods and helped to ground foundational debates withconcerns for practitioners of probabilistic methods.
