Download or read book Italian Studies in the Philosophy of Science written by Maria Luisa Dalla Chiara and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impressive record of Italian philosophical research since the end of Fascism thirty-two years ago is shown in many fields: esthetics, social and" personal ethics, history and sociology of philosophy, and magnificently, perhaps above all, in logic, foundations of mathematics and the philosophY, methodology, and intellectual history ofthe empirical sciences. To our pleasure, Maria Luisa Dalla Chiara of the University of Florence gladly agreed to assemble a 'sampler' of recent Italian logical and analytical work on the philosophical foundations of mathematics and physics, along with a number of historical studies of epistemological and mathematical concepts. The twenty-five essays that form this volume will, we expect, encourage English-reading philosophers and scientists to seek further works by these authors and by their teachers, colleagues, and students; and, we hope, to look for those other Italian currents of thought in the philosophy of science for which points of departure are not wholly analytic, and which also deserve study and recognition in the world wide philosophical community. Of course, Italy has long been related to that world community in scien titlc matters.

Download or read book Bayesian Inference and Decision Techniques written by P. K. Goel and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1986 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this volume is to describe the impact of Professor Bruno de Finetti's contributions on statistical theory and practice, and to provide a selection of recent and applied research in Bayesian statistics and econometrics. Included are papers (all previously unpublished) from leading econometricians and statisticians from several countries. Part I of this book relates most directly to de Finetti's interests whilst Part II deals specifically with the implications of the assumption of finitely additive probability. Parts III & IV discuss applications of Bayesian methodology in econometrics and economic forecasting, and Part V examines assessment of prior parameters in specific parametric setting and foundational issues in probability assessment. The following section deals with state of the art for comparing probability functions and gives an assessment of prior distributions and utility functions. In Parts VII & VIII are a collection of papers on Bayesian methodology for general linear models and time series analysis (the most often used tools in economic modelling), and papers relevant to modelling and forecasting. The remaining two Parts examine, respectively, optimality considerations and the effectiveness of the Conditionality-Likelihood Principle as a vehicle to convince the non-Bayesians about the usefulness of the Bayesian paradigm.

Download or read book Financial Mathematics written by Andrea Pascucci and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Bologna Accords a bachelor-master-doctor curriculum has been introduced in various countries with the intention that students may enter the job market already at the bachelor level. Since financial Institutions provide non negligible job opportunities also for mathematicians, and scientists in general, it appeared to be appropriate to have a financial mathematics course already at the bachelor level in mathematics. Most mathematical techniques in use in financial mathematics are related to continuous time models and require thus notions from stochastic analysis that bachelor students do in general not possess. Basic notions and methodologies in use in financial mathematics can however be transmitted to students also without the technicalities from stochastic analysis by using discrete time (multi-period) models for which general notions from Probability suffice and these are generally familiar to students not only from science courses, but also from economics with quantitative curricula. There do not exists many textbooks for multi-period models and the present volume is intended to fill in this gap. It deals with the basic topics in financial mathematics and, for each topic, there is a theoretical section and a problem section. The latter includes a great variety of possible problems with complete solution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il presente volume intende fornire un’introduzione alla probabilità e alle sue applicazioni, senza fare ricorso alla teoria della misura, per studenti dei corsi di laurea scientifici (in particolar modo di matematica, fisica e ingegneria). Viene dedicato ampio spazio alla probabilità discreta, vale a dire su spazi finiti o numerabili. In questo contesto sono sufficienti pochi strumenti analitici per presentare la teoria in modo completo e rigoroso. L'esposizione è arricchita dall'analisi dettagliata di diversi modelli, di facile formulazione e allo stesso tempo di grande rilevanza teorica e applicativa, alcuni tuttora oggetto di ricerca. Vengono poi trattate le variabili aleatorie assolutamente continue, reali e multivariate, e i teoremi limite classici della probabilità, ossia la Legge dei Grandi Numeri e il Teorema Limite Centrale, dando rilievo tanto agli aspetti concettuali quanto a quelli applicativi. Tra le varie applicazioni presentate, un capitolo è dedicato alla stima dei parametri in Statistica Matematica. Numerosi esempi sono parte integrante dell'esposizione. Ogni capitolo contiene una ricca selezione di esercizi, per i quali viene fornita la soluzione sul sito Springer dedicato al volume.

Download or read book Vilfredo Pareto and the Birth of Modern Microeconomics written by Luigino Bruni and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a recent resurgence of interest in the work of Vilfredo Pareto, one of the founders of modern economics. This book reconstructs the genesis and significance of Pareto's theory of choice which is Pareto's greatest contribution to economic science and which was used by John Hicks, amongst others, to develop microeconomics. Hicks, Allen, Samuelson and others acknowledged Pareto as the father of the new ordinalist microeconomics but at the same time, portrayed him as confused and contradictory, caught between the old and new paradigms. Luigino Bruni argues that Pareto's revolution in choice theory is better understood in the context of his own philosophical framework. This framework is revealed by reconstructing his dialogues with economists (Pantaleoni) and philosophers (Vailati and Croce), and by exploring Pareto's economic theory in the light of his philosophy of science. In addition, Luigino Bruni argues that Pareto's contribution was different and more complex than Hicks's ordinalism and Samuelson's operationalism. From this analysis emerges an image of Pareto as a man whose ideas and work was only partially fulfilled. This original and sometimes unconventional book will be of great interest to economists, historians of economic thought and philosophers of the social sciences.

Download or read book Philosophical Lectures on Probability written by Bruno de Finetti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-05-20 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruno de Finetti (1906–1985) is the founder of the subjective interpretation of probability, together with the British philosopher Frank Plumpton Ramsey. His related notion of “exchangeability” revolutionized the statistical methodology. This book (based on a course held in 1979) explains in a language accessible also to non-mathematicians the fundamental tenets and implications of subjectivism, according to which the probability of any well specified fact F refers to the degree of belief actually held by someone, on the ground of her whole knowledge, on the truth of the assertion that F obtains.
