ON THE RELATION BETWEEN GNOSTICAL AND PROBABILITY THEORIES

A description of continuous probability distributions by means of infl uence and weight functions of distribution has been developed. The app licability of the new concepts is briefly discussed. It is shown that in the case of special probability distribution these functions corres pond to ''irrelevance'' and ''fidelity'' of the gnostical theory intro duced in [10]. Gnostical model of uncertainty, claimed by its author t o be independent of probabilistic concepts in [12-13], can be thus rep laced by a special case of the classical probabilistic model.
