Decision making under incomplete data using the imprecise Dirichlet model
The paper presents an efficient solution to decision problems where direct partial information on the distribution of the states of nature is available, either by observations of previous repetitions of the decision problem or by direct expert judgements. To process this information we use a recent generalization of Walley’s imprecise Dirichlet model, allowing us also to handle incomplete obser...
متن کاملFuzzy decision making using the imprecise Dirichlet model
In most applications, probabilities of states of nature in decision making are not known exactly due to a lack of complete information. If the available information is represented by a small number of statistical data, Walley’s imprecise Dirichlet model may be regarded as a tool for determining interval probabilities of states of nature. It turns out that the resulting expected utilities consti...
متن کاملDecision making under uncertainty using imprecise probabilities
Various ways for decision making with imprecise probabilities—admissibility, maximal expected utility, maximality, E-admissibility, Γ-maximax, Γ-maximin, all of which are well-known from the literature—are discussed and compared. We generalize a well-known sufficient condition for existence of optimal decisions. A simple numerical example shows how these criteria can work in practice, and demon...
متن کاملRobust Estimators under the Imprecise Dirichlet Model
Walley’s Imprecise Dirichlet Model (IDM) for categorical data overcomes several fundamental problems which other approaches to uncertainty suffer from. Yet, to be useful in practice, one needs efficient ways for computing the imprecise=robust sets or intervals. The main objective of this work is to derive exact, conservative, and approximate, robust and credible interval estimates under the IDM...
متن کاملThe imprecise Dirichlet model
INTRODUCTION 2 The " Bag of marbles " example " Bag of marbles " problems (Walley, 1996) • " I have. .. a closed bag of coloured marbles. I intend to shake the bag, to reach into it and to draw out one marble. What is the probability that I will draw a red marble? " • " Suppose that we draw a sequence of marbles whose colours are (in order): blue, green, blue, blue, green, red.
