Lower Previsions Induced by Filter Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate under which conditions a transformation of an imprecise probability model of a certain type (coherent lower previsions, n-monotone capacities, minitive measures) produces a model of the same type. We give a number of necessary and sufficient conditions, and study in detail a particular class of such transformations, called filter maps. These maps include as particular models multi-valued mappings as well as other models of interest within imprecise probability theory, and can be linked to filters of sets and {0,1}-valued lower probabilities.

Lower previsions induced by multi-valued mappings∗
We discuss how lower previsions induced by multi-valued mappings fit into the framework of the behavioural theory of imprecise probabilities, and show how the notions of coherence and natural extension from that theory can be used to prove and generalise existing results in an elegant and straightforward manner. This provides a clear example for their explanatory and unifying power.
متن کاملCharacterizing the Set of Coherent Lower Previsions with a Finite Number of Constraints or Vertices
The standard coherence criterion for lower previsions is expressed using an infinite number of linear constraints. For lower previsions that are essentially defined on some finite set of gambles on a finite possibility space, we present a reformulation of this criterion that only uses a finite number of constraints. Any such lower prevision is coherent if it lies within the convex polytope defi...
متن کاملA survey of the theory of coherent lower previsions
This paper presents a summary of Peter Walley’s theory of coherent lower previsions. We introduce three representations of coherent assessments: coherent lower and upper previsions, closed and convex sets of linear previsions, and sets of desirable gambles. We show also how the notion of coherence can be used to update our beliefs with new information, and a number of possibilities to model the...
متن کاملCoherent Upper Conditional Previsions Defined by Hausdorff Outer Measures to Forecast in Chaotic Dynamical Systems
Coherent conditional previsions and probabilities are tools to model and quantify uncertainties; they have been investigated in de Finetti [3], [4], Dubins [10] Regazzini [13], [14] and Williams [20]. Separately coherent upper and lower conditional previsions have been introduced in Walley [18], [19] and models of upper and lower conditional previsions have been analysed in Vicig et al. [17] an...
متن کاملExtension of coherent lower previsions to unbounded random variables
We study the extension of coherent lower previsions from the set of bounded random variables to a larger set. An ad hoc method in the literature consists in approximating an unbounded random variable by a sequence of bounded ones. Its ‘extended’ lower prevision is then defined as the limit of the sequence of lower previsions of its approximations. We identify the random variables for which this...
