Back to required readings

There is a huge literature on interpreting probability and this is even larger if you just look at examples of how people use it. A really good place to start is to follow the references mentioned in Hájek's encyclopedia article. A heavily overlapping list including lots of book chapters (among other things) can be found on Branden Fitelson's Probability and Induction course website: Syllabus

Frequency accounts of probability:

• von Mises, Probability, Statistics, and Truth
• von Mises, On the Foundations of Probability and Statistics
• Jeffrey, Mises Redux (in Probability and the Art of Judgment)
• van Fraassen, Relative Frequencies
• Hájek, "Mises Redux” — Redux: Fifteen Arguments Against Finite Frequentism
• Hájek, Fifteen Arguments against Hypothetical Frequentism
• Hájek, The Reference Class Problem is Your Problem Too

Propensity accounts:

• Gillies, Varieties of Propensity
• Eells, Objective Probability Theory Theory
