The approach to probability theory followed in this book (which
differs radically from the usual one, based on a measure-theoretic
framework) characterizes probability as a linear operator rather
than as a measure, and is based on the concept of coherence, which
can be framed in the most general view of conditional probability.
It is a flexible' and unifying tool suited for handling, e.g.,
partial probability assessments (not requiring that the set of all
possible outcomes' be endowed with a previously given algebraic
structure, such as a Boolean algebra), and conditional
independence, in a way that avoids all the inconsistencies related
to logical dependence (so that a theory referring to graphical
models more general than those usually considered in bayesian
networks can be derived). Moreover, it is possible to encompass
other approaches to uncertain reasoning, such as fuzziness,
possibility functions, and default reasoning.
The book is kept self-contained, provided the reader is familiar
with the elementary aspects of propositional calculus, linear
algebra, and analysis.
