Which interpretations of probability in evolutionary theory are consistent with determinism and indeterminism? arguments, with the exception of Sober's, do not provide fully characterized interpretations of probability under determinism. This transition probability equation is a simple one that takes into account only two factors: the size of the population and its initial frequency. 4. Interpretations of Probability in Evolutionary Theory. Under propensity interpretations, probability is the physical tendency or disposition of a system to produce a certain kind of outcome. propensity interpretation that views probabilities as adhering to kinds or evolutionary theory that seems sympathetic to the ''anything goes'' position that I attribute to Popper: in discussing the fact that different characterizations lead to different probability assignments, Sober states that evolutionary probabilities as propensities of population-specified kinds ./cache/work_urxdmypru5hvbfjcfm2olld4qu.pdf ./txt/work_urxdmypru5hvbfjcfm2olld4qu.txt
