The Social Entropy Process: Axiomatising the Aggregation of Probabilistic Beliefs

نویسنده

  • George Wilmers
چکیده

The present work stems from a desire to combine ideas arising from two historically different schemes of probabilistic reasoning, each having its own axiomatic traditions, into a single broader axiomatic framework, capable of providing general new insights into the nature of probabilistic inference in a collective context. In the present sketch of our work we describe briefly the background context, present a set of natural principles for a broader axiomatic approach to aggregating subjective probabilistic beliefs than that taken historically, and finally define a general method of aggregating the partial subjective probabilistic beliefs of several individuals into a single “social” probability distribution in a manner which satisfies those principles. We call this method of aggregation the Social Entropy Process (SEP).

The aggregation behavior of anionic Cobalt(II) 4,4′,4ʺ,4‴-tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine, [Co(TSPc)4-] was studied at its various concentrations and different ionic strengths using optical absorption and resonance light scattering (RLS) spectroscopies in 5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 at 25 °C. The results show no aggregation behavior at concentration range of 5.1 × 10-6-7....

A modification of probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets and its application to multiple criteria decision making

Probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set (PHFS) is a fruitful concept that adds to hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) the term of probability which is able to retain more information than the usual HFS. Here, we demonstrate that the existing definitions of PHFS are not still reasonable, and therefore, we first improve the PHFS definition. By endowing the set and algebraic operations with a new re-definition of P...
