degrees of belief

Last edited: August 8, 2025

degrees of belief help us quantify how much we believe some event \(A\) is more/less plausible than some event \(B\).

Let us take two statements:

  • \(A\) Taylor gets Nobel Prize in Literature
  • \(B\) Han shot first

For instance, if we want to express “I think its more likely that Taylor gets the prize than Han shot first”:

\begin{equation} A \succ B \end{equation}

axioms of degrees of belief

universal comparability

for two statements \(A, B\), only three states can exist:

demand paging

Last edited: August 8, 2025
  1. use efficient page maps too translate virtual to physical addresses
  2. kick things off to disk when memory runs out

Every process has its own page map.

demand paging

Key idea: physical representation of virtual memory does not have to be on actual memory.

  1. if memory fills out, kick a page to disk
  2. if the program asks for memory again, kick another page to disk and load its memory back

Keep in memory the information that’s being used, kick the rest to swap space/"paging file". Ideally: we have a performance of main memory and capacity of disk.

demand-driven theory hypothesis that the reason why the Great Depression took place was because people were not buying stocks, etc, and there was no demand.
