States are linear functionals that encode probability measures by assigning expectation values to random variables via integrating them with respect to the probability measure. If a state can be learned from another this way, then it is said to be Bayes accessible from the evidence. It is shown that the Bayes accessibility relation is reflexive, antisymmetric, and nontransitive. If every state is Bayes accessible from some other defined on the same set of random variables, then the set of states is called weakly Bayes connected. It is shown that the set of states is not weakly Bayes connected if the probability space is standard. The set of states is called weakly Bayes connectable if, given any state, the probability space can be extended in such a way that the given state becomes Bayes accessible from some other state in the extended space. It is shown that probability spaces are weakly Bayes connectable. Since conditioning using the theory of conditional expectations includes both Bayes\u2019 rule and Jeffrey conditionalization as special cases, the results presented generalize substantially some results obtained earlier for Jeffrey conditionalization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1755020316000502","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,27]],"date-time":"2017-02-27T08:12:05Z","timestamp":1488183125000},"page":"719-755","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["GENERAL PROPERTIES OF BAYESIAN LEARNING AS STATISTICAL INFERENCE DETERMINED BY CONDITIONAL EXPECTATIONS"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"ZAL\u00c1N","family":"GYENIS","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MIKL\u00d3S","family":"R\u00c9DEI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1755020316000502_ref43","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2322503"},{"key":"S1755020316000502_ref40","volume-title":"Field Theory","volume":"158","author":"Roman","year":"2005"},{"key":"S1755020316000502_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2140\/pjm.1965.15.443"},{"key":"S1755020316000502_ref16","unstructured":"[16] Gyenis Z. & R\u00e9dei M .
