Exotic Probability Theories and Quantum Mechanics: References

Dear Friends,

I thought that it might be useful to collect references relevant to exotic probability theories and their relation to quantum mechanics. If you see something missing, please let me know.

I just added a couple of new references. I'm planning to come back to this subject soon!
