Review text

The difference between logical and subjective probabilities are explained. The author presents two criticism of Bayesianism. He develops a general non-Bayesian account of confirmation, designed to be used when Bayesianism is not applicable. An application to machine learning is given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0908.90001].
