Review text

Two types of test for acceptability of conditionals (the Ramsey test and the inductive Ramsey test) are studied under the the condition that the initial corpus \(T\) contains statistical assumptions. These assumptions can be used to license nondeductive or inductive inferences based on probability judgments and both types of test can sometimes yield different verdicts. It is shown that when inductive expansions are introduced into the Ramsey test, the resulting inductive Ramsey conditionals fail to exhibit some of the properties (``restricted weakening and ``no undercutting) satisfied by plain Ramsey conditionals. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0938.00009].
