The phrase "account of probability" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the likelihood or chance of an event occurring, often in contexts related to statistics or risk assessment.
Example: "The report provided a detailed account of probability regarding the chances of success for the new project."
Alternatives: "assessment of likelihood" or "evaluation of probability".
Our approach leads to an account of probability trees and random processes in the framework of Walley's theory.
We give an overview of two approaches to probability theory where lower and upper probabilities, rather than probabilities, are used: Walley's behavioural theory of imprecise probabilities, and Shafer and Vovk's game-theoretic account of probability.
This principle is, however, completely irrational without a dependence on a subjectivist account of probability.
The thesis develops an account of probability appropriate for scientific inference.
In AKV, Lewis defended an a priori account of probability or what he sometimes called "expectation".
His account of probability, however, shows little or no awareness of mathematical probability.
This account of probabilities and utilities recognizes their existence in cases where they are not inferable from preferences or their other effects but instead are inferable from their causes, such as an agent's information about objective probabilities, or are not inferable at all (except perhaps by introspection).
The book explores both subjectivist and objectivist accounts of probability, and takes full measure of work in the foundations of probability theory, in statistical mechanics, and in mathematical theory.
Said another way, propensity accounts are accused of giving empty accounts of probability, à la Molière's 'dormative virtue' (Sober 2000, 64).
Peirce's accounts of his third type of deviance from perfect certitude, namely plausibility, are much sketchier than his accounts of probability and verisimilitude.
