Formalization of Continuous Probability Distributions
Continuous probability distributions are widely used to mathematically describe random phenomena in engineering and physical sciences. In this paper, we present a methodology that ...

A Representation Theorem and Applications
We introduce a set of transformations on the set of all probability distributions over a finite state space, and show that these transformations are the only ones that preserve c...

A Symmetric View of Utilities and Probabilities
Motivated by the need to reason about utilities, and inspired by the success of bayesian networks in representing and reasoning about probabilities, we introduce the notion of uti...

A type theory for probability density functions
There has been great interest in creating probabilistic programming languages to simplify the coding of statistical tasks; however, there still does not exist a formal language th...

Stochastic lambda calculus and monads of probability distributions
Probability distributions are useful for expressing the meanings of probabilistic languages, which support formal modeling of and reasoning about uncertainty. Probability distribu...
