How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15502900 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Soviet school of probability theory
The Soviet school of probability theory was a highly influential mathematical tradition that developed rigorous foundations and advanced methods in probability and stochastic processes, led by figures such as Kolmogorov, Khinchin, and their students.
-
B.
Theory of Probability
Theory of Probability is a foundational book by Harold Jeffreys that systematically develops Bayesian probability theory and its applications to scientific inference.
-
C.
The Emergence of Probability
The Emergence of Probability is a seminal philosophical and historical study by Ian Hacking that traces how modern concepts of probability and statistical reasoning developed from the 16th to the 19th century.
-
D.
Foundations of Probability
Foundations of Probability is a seminal work by Richard von Mises that develops a frequency-based, axiomatic approach to probability theory and its philosophical foundations.
-
E.
Foundations of Probability
Foundations of Probability is a seminal textbook by mathematician Alfréd Rényi that presents a rigorous, axiomatic treatment of probability theory.
- F. None of above. chosen
