Robust Bayesianism: Imprecise and Paradoxical Reasoning
We are interested in understanding the relationship between Bayesian inference and evidence theory, in particular imprecise and paradoxical reasoning. The concept of a set of probability distributions is central both in robust Bayesian analysis and in some versions of Dempster-Shafer theory. Most of the literature regards these two theories as incomparable. We interpret imprecise probabilities ...
متن کاملReasoning with imprecise belief structures
This paper extends the theory of belief functions by introducing new concepts and techniques, allowing to model the situation in which the beliefs held by a rational agent may only be expressed (or are only known) with some imprecision. Central to our approach is the concept of intervalvalued belief structure, defined as a set of belief structures verifying certain constraints. Starting from th...
متن کاملImprecise belief updating for uncertain user modelling
In this paper we present a new approach to incremental user recognition in fuzzy environments where user classification is updated within an epistemological model. We extend Einhorn and Hogarth’s anchor and adjustment method ([7]), itself derived from a study of human behaviour, from the point value representation of belief and evidence to the case where belief and evidence are imprecise. We re...
متن کاملGlobal Optimization for Imprecise Problems
A new method for the computation of the global minimum of a continuously differentiable real–valued function f of n variables is presented. This method, which is composed of two parts, is based on the combinatorial topology concept of the degree of a mapping associated with an oriented polyhedron. In the first part, interval arithmetic is implemented for a “rough” isolation of all the stationar...
متن کاملGlobal Supervenience and Belief
Global supervenience of beliefs about physical states of affairs on such states has strongly counter-intuitive consequences about what beliefs we can nomologically hold. Tfcs is an argument against a global supervenience of all mental properties on physical 0 es, and, since that is implied by strong supervenience, also against that as the preferred aterialist thesis.
