My views on the
philosophy of probability are contained
in a book
"The Search for Certainty.
On the Clash of Science and Philosophy of Probability".
The slides of the October 23, 2006, talk at the Department
of Statistics, University of Washington, "De Finetti's
ultimate failure":
PowerPoint,
PDF.
The slides of the October 13, 2008, talk at the Department
of Statistics, University of Washington, "Philosophy
of probability and its relationship (?) to statistics":
PowerPoint,
PDF.
I find the following "new prisoner's
paradox"
and its follow-up dealing with some ethical
questions
entertaining.
An "insider trading
paradox"
is based on a similar probabilistic idea
but does not have much philosophical significance
- I consider it an interesting textbook example.
