Logic of subjective probability [PDF]
CoRR, 2023 In this paper I discuss both syntax and semantics of subjective probability. The semantics determines ways of testing probability statements. Among important varieties of subjective probabilities are intersubjective probabilities and impersonal probabilities, and I will argue that well-tested impersonal probabilities acquire features of objective ...

Subjective Probabilities on Subjectively Unambiguous Events [PDF]
Econometrica, 2001 Summary: This paper suggests a behavioral definition of (subjective) ambiguity in an abstract setting where objects of choice are Savage-style acts. Then axioms are described that deliver probabilistic sophistication of preference on the set of unambiguous acts.

On Some Applications of the Vougiouklis Hyperstructures to Probability Theory
Ratio Mathematica, 2017 Some important concepts about algebraic hyperstructures, especially from a geometric point of view, are recalled. Many applications of the Hv structures, introduced by Vougiouklis in 1990, to the de Finetti subjective probability theory are considered ...
