Countable spaces and common priors
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the no betting characterisation of the existence of common priors over finite type spaces extends only partially to improper priors in the countably infinite state space context: the existence of a common prior implies the absence of a bounded agreeable bet, and the absence of a common improper prior implies the existence of a bounded agreeable bet. However, a type space that lacks a common prior but has a common improper prior may or may not have a bounded agreeable bet. The iterated expectations characterisation of the existence of common priors extends almost as is, as a sufficient and necessary condition, from finite spaces to countable spaces, but fails to serve as a characterisation of common improper priors. As a side-benefit of the proofs here, we also obtain a constructive proof of the no betting characterisation in finite spaces.

متن کاملA new one-step iterative process for approximating common fixed points of a countable family of quasi-nonexpansive multi-valued mappings in CAT(0) spaces
In this paper, we propose a new one-step iterative process for a countable family of quasi-nonexpansive multi-valued mappings in a CAT(0) space. We also prove strong and $Delta$-convergence theorems of the proposed iterative process under some control conditions. Our main results extend and generalize many results in the literature.
متن کاملFinite Order Implications of Common Priors in Infinite Models
Lipman [2003] shows that in a finite model, the common prior assumption has weak implications for finite orders of beliefs about beliefs. In particular, the only such implications are those stemming from the weaker assumption of a common support. To explore the role of the finite model assumption in generating this conclusion, this paper considers the finite order implications of common priors ...

متن کاملBayes Factors via Serial Tempering
Let M be a finite or countable set of models (here we only deal with finite M but Bayes factors make sense for countable M). For each model m ∈ M we have the prior probability of the model pri(m). It does not matter if this prior on models is unnormalized. Each model m has a parameter space Θm and a prior g(θ | m), θ ∈ Θm The spaces Θm can and usually do have different dimensions. That’s the po...
