Abstract: Although not yet 27 years of age at the time of his death, Ramsey left contributions to mathematics, logic, and economics which were of the greatest value for contemporary philosophy. The present volume contains published and unpublished papers, ranging in date from 1923 to 1929, which show the development of his philosophic thought. – Published Papers : – I. «The Foundations of Mathematics», [i]Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society[/i], Ser. 2, Vol. 25, Part 5, pp. 338-384.

The theory of decision making.
TL;DR: This literature review of decision making (how people make choices among desirable alternatives), culled from the disciplines of psychology, economics, and mathematics, covers the theory of riskless choices, the application of the theory to welfare economics,The theory of risky choices, transitivity of choices, and the theories of games and statistical decision functions.

Theoretical risks and tabular asterisks: Sir Karl, Sir Ronald, and the slow progress of soft psychology.
TL;DR: For example, the authors used consistency tests of a conjectural taxometric model with 94% success with zero false negatives to estimate numerical point values, even if approximate with rough tolerances; and lacking this, ranges, orderings, secondorder differences, curve peaks and valleys, and function forms should be used.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors question the simplicity of the common prescription that more thinking leads to better 26 moral choices and discover that the relationship between how complexly one reasons 27 before making a decision with moral consequences is related to the outcome of that decision in a curvi
A Tutorial on Learning Bayesian Networks
David Heckerman
- 01 Jan 2007
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine a graphical representation of uncertain knowledge called a Bayesian network, which is easy to construct and interpret, yet has formal probabilistic semantics making it suitable for statistical manipulation.
