Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The aim of a probabilistic logic (or probability logic) is to combine the capacity of probability theory to handle uncertainty with the capacity of deductive logic to exploit structure. The result is a richer and more expressive formalism with a broad range of possible application areas. Probabilistic logic is a natural extension of traditional logic truth tables: the results they define are derived through probabilistic expressions instead. The difficulty with probabilistic logics is that they tend to multiply the computational complexities of their probabilistic and logical components. There are numerous proposals for probabilistic logics: The term "probabilistic logic" was first used in a paper by Nils Nilsson published in 1986, where the truth values of sentences are probabilities.
