Assessing semantic coherence in conditional probability estimates.
Semantic coherence is a higher-order coherence benchmark that assesses whether a constellation of estimates--P(A), P(B), P(B | A), and P(A | B)--maps onto the relationship between sets implied by the description of a given problem. We present an automated method for evaluating semantic coherence in conditional probability estimates that efficiently reduces a large problem space into five meanin...
متن کاملOn the Checking of G-Coherence of Conditional Probability Bounds
We illustrate an approach to uncertain knowledge based on lower conditional probability bounds. Our results and algorithms exploit a concept of generalized coherence (g-coherence), which is a generalization of de Finetti’s coherence principle and is equivalent to the ”avoiding uniform loss” property for lower and upper probabilities(a la Walley). By our algorithms, given a g-coherent assessment...
متن کاملSome Results on Generalized Coherence of Conditional Probability Bounds
Based on the coherence principle of de Finetti and a related notion of generalized coherence (g-coherence), we adopt a probabilistic approach to uncertainty based on conditional probability bounds. Our notion of g-coherence is equivalent to the ”avoiding uniform loss” property for lower and upper probabilities (a la Walley). Moreover, given a g-coherent imprecise assessment by our algorithms we...
متن کاملSemantic Coherence and Inconsistency in Estimating Conditional Probabilities
Two studies examined semantic coherence and internal inconsistency fallacies in conditional probability estimation. Problems reflected five distinct relationships between two sets: identical sets, mutually exclusive sets, subsets, overlapping sets, and independent sets (a special case of overlapping sets). Participants estimated P(A), P(B), P(A|B), and P(B|A). Inconsistency occurs when this con...
