It did, however, allow him to solve the population theory problems posed by Daniel Bernoulli and Condorcet by giving political arithmetic the scientific rigor it lacked, left open as it was to the most trivial empirical digressions; for example, in deciding whether in truth more boys were born in London than in Paris for the same number of births, or even whether the population of France was increasing or decreasing. For more complex graphs having loops, the graph is first transformed into a tree structure (a ‘junction’ tree) in which each composite node comprises multiple variables from the original graph, and then a local message-passing algorithm (a generalization of belief propagation) is performed. This leads to a predictive distribution of the future population given what we have observed in the past. This number is always between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty. Practical methods of asset pricing using “finite difference methods” or lattice methods fall within this category. The probability that a given event, say, Note that this definition makes sense. The use of the bell curve was taken one step further by Quetelet's younger colleague and professor of mathematics at his alma mater in Ghent.

The theory of probability, therefore, became for Laplace ‘the most felicitous addition to the ignorance and weakness of the human spirit’ as he asserts in conclusion to his Philosophical Essay on Probability (Laplace 1986), the first edition of which dates back to 1814 and the last to 1825.

In the directed graph representation, the joint distribution of all the variables is defined by a product of conditional distributions, one for each node, conditioned on the states of the variables corresponding to the parents of the respective nodes in the directed graph.

We restrict ourselves to “pure aggregation” theory and, accordingly, do not cover strategic aspects of social choice.

Pricing models for derivative assets are formulated in continuous time, but will be applied in discrete, “small” time intervals. Predictive distributions provide the forecast users with a richer view of the possible future developments than the traditional population forecasts. From the representation R = 1[A1] +⋯+ 1[An] defined above, and the observation that the events Ak are independent and have the same probability, it follows that.
