| Abstract: | In this rather technical paper we establish a useful combination of belief revision and verisimilitude according to which
better theories provide better predictions, and revising with more verisimilar data results in theories that are closer to
the truth. Moreover, this paper presents two alternative definitions of refined verisimilitude, which are more perspicuous
than the algebraic version used in previous publications. |
