Representation of conditional preferences under uncertainty
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents axioms for systems of conditional preferences and provides representation results for these systems. It reports on a new way of representing a system of conditional preferences, by means of a system of conditional lexicographic probabilities (SCLP) (cf. Asheim and Perea, Games and Economic Behavior, forthcoming). An SCLP ensures well-defined conditional beliefs representing nontrivial conditional preferences, while allowing for flexibility w.r.t. whether to assume preference for cautious behavior.

Application of Sequential Gaussian Conditional Simulation to Underground Mine Design Under Grade Uncertainty
In mining projects, all uncertainties associated with a project must be considered to determine the feasibility study. Grade uncertainty is one of the major components of technical uncertainty that affects the variability of the project. Geostatistical simulation, as a reliable approach, is the most widely used method to quantify risk analysis to overcome the drawbacks of the estimation methods...
متن کاملA Modal Characterization of Defeasible Deontic Conditionals and Conditional Goals
We explore the notions of permission and obligation and their role in knowledge representation, especially as guides to action for planning systems. We first present a simple conditional deontic logic (or more accurately a preference logic) of the type common in the literature and demonstrate its equivalence to a number of modal and conditional systems for default reasoning. We show how the tec...
متن کاملStrong, Weak, and Dynamic Consistency in Fuzzy Conditional Temporal Problems
Conditional Temporal Problems (CTPs) allow for the representation of temporal and conditional plans, dealing simultaneously with uncertainty and temporal constraints. In this paper, CTPs are generalized to CTPPs by adding preferences to the temporal constraints and by allowing fuzzy thresholds for the occurrence of some events. The usual consistency notions (strong, weak and dynamic) are then e...
متن کاملRobustness-based portfolio optimization under epistemic uncertainty
In this paper, we propose formulations and algorithms for robust portfolio optimization under both aleatory uncertainty (i.e., natural variability) and epistemic uncertainty (i.e., imprecise probabilistic information) arising from interval data. Epistemic uncertainty is represented using two approaches: (1) moment bounding approach and (2) likelihood-based approach. This paper first proposes a ...
متن کاملThe Role of Preferences in Logic Programming: Nonmonotonic Reasoning, User Preferences, Decision under Uncertainty
Preferences have a multi-faceted relationship with several knowledge representation domains and they have been understood in different ways in the Artificial Intelligence literature. In this thesis, we study and clarify the role that preferences can play in the setting of Answer Set Programming. Keywords— preferences, nonmonotonic reasoning, uncertain nonmonotonic reasoning, decision under unce...
