Constructing imprecise probability distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this current paper the following problems are addressed: (1) extending the knowledge of a partially known probability distribution function to any point of a continuous sample space, (2) constructing an imprecise probability distribution based on the knowledge of a set of credible or confidence intervals, and (3) computing the lower and upper expected values of a random continuous variable. An example is provided.

Discrete Second-order Probability Distributions that Factor into Marginals
In realistic decision problems there is more often than not uncertainty in the background information. As for representation of uncertain or imprecise probability values, second-order probability, i.e. probability distributions over probabilities, offers an option. With a subjective view of probability second-order probability would seem to be impractical since it is hard for a person to constr...
متن کاملDesign Optimization with Imprecise Random Variables
Design optimization is an important engineering design activity. Performing design optimization in the presence of uncertainty has been an active area of research. The approaches used require modeling the random variables using precise probability distributions or representing uncertain quantities as fuzzy sets. This work, however, considers problems in which the random variables are described ...
متن کاملFrom imprecise to granular probabilities
Gert de Cooman’s work is an important contribution to a better understanding of how to deal with imprecise probabilities. But there is an important issue which is not addressed. How can imprecise probabilites be dealt with not in isolation but in the broader context of imprecise probability distributions, imprecise events and imprecise relations? What is needed for this purpose is the concept o...
متن کاملMaximum entropy principle with imprecise side-conditions
In this paper we consider the maximum entropy principle with imprecise side-conditions, where the imprecise side-conditions are modeled as fuzzy sets. Our solution produces fuzzy discrete probability distributions and fuzzy probability density functions.
متن کاملA framework for imprecise robust one-class classification models
A framework for constructing robust oneclass classification models is proposed in the paper. It is based on Walley’s imprecise extensions of contaminated models which produce a set of probability distributions of data points instead of a single empirical distribution. The minimax and minimin strategies are used to choose an optimal probability distribution from the set and to construct optimal ...
