The Principal Principle Implies the Principle of Indifference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We argue that David Lewis’s principal principle implies a version of the principle of indifference. The same is true for similar principles that need to appeal to the concept of admissibility. Such principles are thus in accord with objective Bayesianism,

Probabilistic Sophistication and Reverse Bayesianism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This paper extends our earlier work on reverse Bayesianism by relaxing the assump- tion that decision makers abide by expected utility theory, assuming instead weaker axioms that merely imply that they are probabilistically sophisticated.

Bayesian Fairness

open access: yesProceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2019
We consider the problem of how decision making can be fair when the underlying probabilistic model of the world is not known with certainty. We argue that recent notions of fairness in machine learning need to explicitly incorporate parameter uncertainty, hence we introduce the notion of Bayesian fairness as a suitable candidate for fair decision rules.

In a wide range of recommendation systems, self-interested individuals (“agents”) make decisions over time, using information revealed by other agents in the past, and producing information that may help agents in the future. Each agent would like to exploit the best action given the current information but would prefer the previous agents to explore ...

Bayesian testing and testing bayesians [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
This chapter focuses on Bayesian methods and illustrates both the intrinsic unity of Bayesian thinking, and its basic flexibility to adjust to and to cope with a wide range of circumstances. Two ideas are emphasized in the chapter. Firstly hypothesis testing and model choice have been dealt with as a single class of problems met with so strikingly ...

The Renegade Subjectivist: José Bernardo’s Reference Bayesianism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This article motivates and discusses José Bernardo's attempt to reconcile the subjective Bayesian framework with a need for objective scientific inference, leading to a special kind of objective Bayesianism, namely reference Bayesianism.
