Yeah, maybe 'Quantitative Epistemology'. You'd probably be thrown right out of the Philosophy department though.

Not really, many people who do philosophy of science/math have science/math PhDs as opposed to philosophy or other humanities.

Only the name, the idea not at all. Formal Epistemology is actually a blooming subfield, Bayesian epistemology being a prominent example.
