The Axioms of Subjective Probability
Open accessAbstract
This survey recounts contributions to the axiomatic foundations of subjective probability from the pioneering era of Ramsey, de Finetti, Savage, and Koopman to the mid-1980's. It is designed to be accessible to readers who have little prior acquaintance with axiomatics. At the same time, it provides a fairly complete picture of the present state of the measurement-theoretic foundations of subjective probability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
