Decision 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 کاملDenumerable Constrained Markov Decision Problems and Finite Approximations Denumerable Constrained Markov Decision Problems and Finite Approximations
The purpose of this paper is two fold. First to establish the Theory of discounted constrained Markov Decision Processes with a countable state and action spaces with general multi-chain structure. Second, to introduce nite approximation methods. We deene the occupation measures and obtain properties of the set of all achievable occupation measures under the diierent admissible policies. We est...
متن کاملDecision making with imprecise probabilities
In many decision problems the only information available about a random event is expert opinion. The theory of imprecise probabilities, a generalization of standard subjective probability, allows us to deal with such information. In this paper the use of imprecise probabilities is discussed, with emphasis on elicitation and combination of opinions and decision making, and some recent results ar...
متن کاملDecision Making with Imprecise Probabilities
Orthodox Bayesian decision theory requires an agent’s beliefs representable by a real-valued function, ideally a probability function. Many theorists have argued this is too restrictive; it can be perfectly reasonable to have indeterminate degrees of belief. So doxastic states are ideally representable by a set of probability functions. One consequence of this is that the expected value of a ga...
متن کاملExponential Models: Approximations for Probabilities
Welch & Peers (1963) used a root-information prior to obtain posterior probabilities for a scalar parameter exponential model and showed that these Bayes probabilities had the confidence property to second order asymptotically. An important undercurrent of this indicates that the constant information reparameterization provides location model structure, for which the confidence property ...
