Some Remarks on Sets of Lexicographic Probabilities and Sets of Desirable Gambles

چکیده
Sets of lexicographic probabilities and sets of desirable gambles share several features, despite their apparent differences. In this paper we examine properties of marginalization, conditioning and independence for sets of lexicographic probabilities and sets of desirable gambles.

A POLARITY THEORY FOR SETS OF DESIRABLE GAMBLES A polarity theory for sets of desirable gambles
Coherent sets of almost desirable gambles and credal sets are known to be equivalent models. That is, there exists a bijection between the two collections of sets preserving the usual operations, e.g. conditioning. Such a correspondence is based on the polarity theory for closed convex cones. Learning from this simple observation, in this paper we introduce a new (lexicographic) polarity theory...

متن کاملLexicographic choice functions without archimedeanicity
We investigate the connection between choice functions and lexicographic probabilities, by means of the convexity axiom considered by [7] but without imposing any Archimedean condition. We show that lexicographic probabilities are related to a particular type of sets of desirable gambles, and investigate the properties of the coherent choice function this induces via maximality. Finally, we sho...
متن کاملLexicographic choice functions
We investigate a generalisation of the coherent choice functions considered by Seidenfeld et al. (2010), by sticking to the convexity axiom but imposing no Archimedeanity condition. We define our choice functions on vector spaces of options, which allows us to incorporate as special cases both Seidenfeld et al.'s (2010) choice functions on horse lotteries and sets of desirable gambles (Quaegheb...
متن کاملSets of Desirable Gambles and Credal Sets
Sets of desirable gambles were proposed by Walley [7] as a general theory of imprecise probability. The main reasons for this are: it is a very general model, including as particular cases most of the existing theories for imprecise probability; it has a deep and simple axiomatic justification; and mathematical definitions are natural and intuitive. However, there is still a lot of work to be d...
