Bayesian probability

Bayesian probability
“Bayesian probability” here means the concept of probability used in Bayesian decision theory. It is usually identified with the agent’s degrees of belief but that interpretation is unsatisfactory because it severely restricts the contexts in which Bayesian decision theory is correctly applicable. A satisfactory interpretation is obtained by taking Bayesian probability to be an explicatum for inductive probability given the agent’s evidence.
