Interpreting imprecise probabilities

open access: yesThe Philosophical Quarterly
It is essential that formal models come with interpretations: accounts of how the models relate to the phenomena. The traditional representation of degrees of belief as mathematical probabilities comes with a clear and simple interpretative story. This

Transitive Reasoning with Imprecise Probabilities [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning and Uncertainty, 2015
We study probabilistically informative (weak) versions of transitivity by using suitable definitions of defaults and negated defaults in the setting of coherence and imprecise probabilities.

Imprecise Probabilities [PDF]

open access: yesSimulation Foundations, Methods and Applications, 2019
This chapter explores the topic of imprecise probabilities (IP) as it relates to model validation. IP is a family of formal methods that aim to provide a better representation of severe uncertainty than is possible with standard probabilistic methods. Among the methods discussed here are using sets of probabilities to represent uncertainty, and using ...

Discounting Imprecise Probabilities

, 2018
In this paper it is considered the problem of discounting a credal set of probability distributions by a factor \(\alpha \) representing a degree of unreliability of the information source providing the imprecise probabilistic information. An axiomatic approach is followed by giving a set of properties that this operator should satisfy.

Imprecise Probabilities Meet Partial Observability: Game Semantics for Robust POMDPs

International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) rely on the key assumption that probability distributions are precisely known. Robust POMDPs (RPOMDPs) alleviate this concern by defining imprecise probabilities, referred to as uncertainty sets ...

Scoring Rules and Calibration for Imprecise Probabilities

arXiv.org
What does it mean to say that, for example, the probability for rain tomorrow is between 20% and 30%? The theory for the evaluation of precise probabilistic forecasts is well-developed and is grounded in the key concepts of proper scoring rules and ...

Event‐Tree Analysis with Imprecise Probabilities

Risk Analysis, 2011
Novel methods are proposed for dealing with event‐tree analysis under imprecise probabilities, where one could measure chance or uncertainty without sharp numerical probabilities and express available evidence as upper and lower previsions (or expectations) of gambles (or bounded real functions). Sets of upper and lower previsions generate a convex set

Introduction to Imprecise Probabilities

2020
Since uncertainty is persistent in engineering analyses, this chapter aimed to introduce methods to describe and reason with under uncertainty in various scenarios. Probability theory is the most widely used methodology for uncertainty quantification for a long time and has proven to be a powerful tool for this task.
