Rationality and indeterminate probabilities
Introduction What is your degree of belief that the Democrats will win the next presidential election in the USA? If you report a sharp number, we will question you further. For example, if you report a credence of 0.6, we will ask whether you really mean 0.6000..., sharp to infinitely many decimal places. If you are anything like us, your credence is sharp only up to one or two decimal places....
متن کاملImprecise and Indeterminate Probabilities
Bayesian advocates of expected utility maximization use sets of probability distributions to represent very different ideas. Strict Bayesians insist that probability judgment is numerically determinate even though the agent can represent such judgments only in imprecise terms. According to Quasi Bayesians rational agents may make indeterminate subjective probability judgments. Both kinds of Bay...
متن کاملOn the Explanatory Power of Indeterminate Probabilities
Building on work that we reported in [1] we revisit the claims made by Fox and Tversky in [3] concerning their comparative ignorance hypothesis for decision making under uncertainty.
متن کاملDecision Analysis with Indeterminate or Incoherent Probabilities*
This paper presents a new method of modeling indeterminate and incoherent probability judgments in decision analysis problems. The decision maker's degree of beliefs in the occurrence of an event is represented by a unimodal (in fact, concave) function on the unit interval, whose parameters are elicited in terms of lowcr and upper probabilities with attached confidence weights. This is shown to...
متن کاملUpdating Sets of Probabilities
There are several well-known justifications for conditioning as the appropriate method for updating a single probability measure, given an observation. However, there is a significant body of work arguing for sets of probability measures, rather than single mea sures, as a more realistic model of uncer tainty. Conditioning still makes sense in this context-we can simply condition each mea su...
