Scoring Rules for Belief Functions and Imprecise Probabilities: A Comparison
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates de Finetti’s coherence as an operational foundation for a wide range of non-additive uncertainty measures and focuses, in particular, on Belief functions Lower probabilities. In companion we identify number non-limiting circumstances under which Dutch Book criteria probability are undistinguishable, is surprising given that probabilities known to exist do no satisfy the axioms functions. The main contribution this consists putting forward comparison between criterion based Brier scoring rule Functions introduced 2012 by Seidenfeld, Schervish Kadane Imprecise Through show rules allow us distinguish coherence-wise

Scoring Rules, Entropy, and Imprecise Probabilities
Suppose that a risk-averse expected utility maximizer with a precise probability distribution p bets optimally against a risk neutral opponent (or equivalently invests in an incomplete market for contingent claims) whose beliefs (or prices) are described by a convex setQ of probability distributions. This utilitymaximization problem is the dual of the problem of nding the distribution q in Q t...
متن کاملCoherent conditional probabilities and proper scoring rules
In this paper we study the relationship between the notion of coherence for conditional probability assessments on a family of conditional events and the notion of admissibility with respect to scoring rules. By extending a recent result given in literature for unconditional events, we prove, for any given strictly proper scoring rule s, the equivalence between the coherence of a conditional pr...
متن کاملImprecise Probabilities
Consider the uncertainty about whether it will rain in Brisbane next weekend. A weather forecaster may be able to assess a precise probability of rain, such as 0.3285 . . . , although even an expert should feel uncomfortable about specifying a probability to more than one or two decimal places. Someone who has little information about the prospects for rain may be able to make only an imprecise...
متن کاملIgnorance and Imprecise Probabilities
Decisions or inferences sometimes have to made in situations where substantive information about aspects of the problem are either lacking or conflicting. This is often handled by constructing a non-informative prior by appealing to principles such as indifference, maximum entropy, invariance, or maximizing missing information. Unfortunately these priors and the resulting posteriors may depend ...
متن کاملImprecise and Indeterminate Probabilities
Bayesian advocates of expected utility maximization use sets of probability distributions to represent very different ideas. Strict Bayesians insist that probability judgment is numerically determinate even though the agent can represent such judgments only in imprecise terms. According to Quasi Bayesians rational agents may make indeterminate subjective probability judgments. Both kinds of Bay...
