Název v původním jazyce

Šimerka’s Subjective Interpretation of Probability Theory

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The text is dedicated to Václav Šimerka's book The Power of Conviction from the 1880s, in which a long time before creation of the subjective probability in the 1930s. show subjective probability FP Ramsey and B. de Finetti, who laid the foundations of subjective interpretation of probability independently of each other. Not only life is mentioned in the article (Šimerka worked as a chaplain, then as a substitute secondary school professor of mathematics, physics and Czech, later as a priest), but also in brief Šimerkův view of subjective probability in his pivotal work The Power of Conviction, which is in two language versions: Czech and extended German. He wanted to calculate the power of conviction and give it a number. "Conviction" refers to "a number of degrees of knowledge" - from "empty mind" (beliefs with zero value) to suspicion, hypothesis, hypothesis to necessary knowledge (beliefs of 1); it depends on the probability ("fidelity") of the reasoning of the courts. German scholars (eg Carl Theodor Michaëlis) gave a negative assessment of the text (which probably led to his being almost unknown in the world), but Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk highly appreciated it on the Czech side.
