Discussion: On Harold Jeffreys' Axioms
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 April 2022
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).
