Sets of probability distributions, independence, and convexity
This paper analyzes concepts of independence and assumptions of convexity in the theory of sets of probability distributions. The starting point is Kyburg and Pittarelli’s discussion of “convex Bayesianism” (in particular their proposals concerning E-admissibility, independence, and convexity). The paper offers an organized review of the literature on independence for sets of probability distri...
متن کاملEventual Convexity of Chance Constrained Feasible Sets
In decision making problems where uncertainty plays a key role and decisions have to be taken prior to observing uncertainty, chance constraints are a strong modelling tool for defining safety of decisions. These constraints request that a random inequality system depending on a decision vector has to be satisfied with a high probability. The characteristics of the feasible set of such chance c...
متن کاملMaxentropic Reconstruction of Some Probability Distributions with Linear Inequality Constraints
Abstract The maxentropic reconstruction is a technique for finding an unknown probability distribution from some known information. In this paper we obtain the maxentropic reconstruction of some probability distributions from the knowledge of a prior distribution and of some lower and upper bounds for the mean values of some random variables. For this we use the Csiszár’s I-projection theorems ...
متن کاملComputing the Probability of Eventual Ruin
Shiu derives two formulas for calculating the probability of eventual ruin in a collective risk model. This paper implements one of the formulas by incorporating an algorithm to reduce round-off error due to convolution. It gives the results of the programs for some claim distributions. The usefulness of these two formulas is also discussed.
متن کاملMulti-Tail Elliptical Distributions
In this paper we present a new type of multivariate distributions for asset returns which we call the multi-tail elliptical distributions. Multi-tail elliptical distribution can be thought to be an extension of the elliptical distributions that allow for varying tail parameters. We present a two-step random mechanism leading to this new type of distributions. In particular, this mechanism is de...
