Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue will be dedicated to axiomatic or formal foundations for methods in inference, focusing on, butt not limited to, the analysis of interrelated dichotomies that play a central role in the discussion of subjective inference. In particular, the special issue will address axiomatic or formal aspects of subjective vs objective information; probabilistic vs. possibilistic rules of inference, and purposive or intentional vs. random sampling procedures.
This special issue seeks primarily articles contributing to the axiomatic or formal justification of inference methods but will also consider articles on the development of quantitative methods aiming to bridge the gaps or overcome the difficulties imposed by such oppositions. Other topics directly related to the core theme may also be considered.
Professor Dr. Julio Stern
