Reasoning 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 کاملInter-Personal Communication of Precise and Imprecise Subjective Probabilities
We analyze communication of uncertainty among individuals as a function of the parties’ preference for modes of communication. We assume that different individuals may prefer precise Numerical probabilities, Ranges of probabilities or Verbal descriptions of probabilities, and consider all possible pairings of communicators and receivers under this classification. We propose a general criterion ...
متن کاملAttitude toward imprecise information
This paper presents an axiomatic model of decision making under uncertainty which incorporates objective but imprecise information. Information is assumed to take the form of a probability-possibility set, that is, a set P of probability measures on the state space. The decision maker is told that the true probability law lies in P and is assumed to rank pairs of the form (P, f) where f is an a...
متن کاملA Mechanism for the Elicitation of Second-Order Belief and Subjective Information Structure
This paper describes a direct revelation mechanism for eliciting (a) Decision makers’ range of subjective priors under Knightian uncertainty and their second-order introspective belief and (b) Bayesian decision makers’ range of posteriors and their subjective information
