Measures of incoherence : How not to gamble if you must

The degree of incoherence, when previsions are not made in accordance with a probability measure, is measured by the rate at which an incoherent bookie can be made a sure loser. We consider each bet from three points of view: that of the gambler, that of the bookie, and a neutral viewpoint. From each viewpoint, we de ne an normalization for each bet, and the sure loss for incoherent previsions ...

How to sample if you must: on optimal functional sampling

We examine a fundamental problem that models various active sampling setups, such as network tomography. We analyze sampling of a multivariate normal distribution with an unknown expectation that needs to be estimated: in our setup it is possible to sample the distribution from a given set of linear functionals, and the difficulty addressed is how to optimally select the combinations to achieve...
