Logical-probabilistic calculus: a tool for studying the reliability and safety of structurally complex systems

摘要

The concept of the probabilistic logic is briefly described as an extension of inductive logic. A clear distinction is made between the probabilistic logic and logical-probabilistic calculus the branch of mathematics that defines the rules of computation and operation with two-valued (true and false) statements. The logical-probabilistic calculus is based on the algebra of logic and rules of substitution of logical arguments in functions of the algebra of logic by their truth probabilities, and logical operations by arithmetical operations.
