Then the Bayesian explicatum for "E confirms H given K" is C(H, E, Earman, Rosenkrantz, and Fitelson all offer Bayesian solutions to the problem of irrelevant conjunction. Earman and Rosenkrantz assumed that degree of confirmation is measured by d; only Fitelson took account of the fact that there are other that r is not a good measure of degree of confirmation (Fitelson 2002, the problem of irrelevant conjunction, or indeed Bayesian confirmation One is that if p is a good explicatum for inductive probability, as Bayesianism maintains, then C must	./cache/work_ufsaqui4i5brvclk5uzdsun2oq.pdf	./txt/work_ufsaqui4i5brvclk5uzdsun2oq.txt
