On Harold Jeffreys' axioms
Philosophy of Science 55 (3):448-452 (1988)
Abstract
It is argued that models of H. Jeffreys' axioms of probability (Jeffreys [1939] 1967) are not monotone even with I. J. Good's proposed modification (Good 1950). Hence the additivity axiom seems essential to a theory of probability as it is with Kolmogorov's system (Kolmogorov 1950)Other Versions
