Negative probabilities and the uses of signed probability theory
Philosophy of Science 43 (1):53-70 (1976)
| Abstract | The use of negative probabilities is discussed for certain problems in which a stochastic process approach is indicated. An extension of probability theory to include signed (negative and positive) probabilities is outlined and both philosophical and axiomatic examinations of negative probabilities are presented. Finally, a class of applications illustrates the use and implications of signed probability theory | |||||||||
