Probability, Frequency, and Resonable Expectation
author
Abstract:
This paper is a Persian translation of R. T. Cox (1946) famous work concerning subjective probability. It establishes an axiomatic foundation for subjective probability, akin to Kolmogorov's work.

Probability and Expectation Inequalities
This paper introduces a mathematical framework within which a wide variety of known and new inequalities can be viewed from a common perspective. Probability and expectation inequalities of the following types are considered: (a) P(ZEA) ~ P(Z'EA) for some class of sets A, (b) Ek(Z) ~ Ek(Z') for some class of functions k, and (c) Et(Z) ~ Ek(Z') for some class of pairs of functions t and k. It is...
full textExpectation Propagation for Approximate Inference: Free Probability Framework
We study asymptotic properties of expectation propagation (EP) a method for approximate inference originally developed in the field of machine learning. Applied to generalized linear models, EP iteratively computes a multivariate Gaussian approximation to the exact posterior distribution. The computational complexity of the repeated update of covariance matrices severely limits the application ...
full textA Study on Preference Orderings of Mathematical expectation, Expected Utility and Distorted Expectation
One of the challenges for decision-makers in insurance and finance is choosing the appropriate criteria for making decisions. Mathematical expectation, expected utility, and distorted expectation are the three most common measures in this area. In this article, we study these three criteria, and by providing some examples, we review and compare the decisions made by each measure.
full textProbability Density Estimation Using Advanced Support Vector Machines and the Expectation Maximization Algorithm
This paper presents a new approach for the probability density function estimation using the Support Vector Machines (SVM) and the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithms. In the proposed approach, an advanced algorithm for the SVM density estimation which incorporates the Mean Field theory in the learning process is used. Instead of using ad-hoc values for the parameters of the kernel functio...
full textChoquet expectation and Peng’s g−expectation
In this paper we consider two ways to generalize the mathematical expectation of a random variable, the Choquet expectation and Peng’s g-expectation. An open question has been, after making suitable restrictions to the class of random variables acted on by the Choquet expectation, for what class of expectation do these two definitions coincide? In this paper we provide a necessary and sufficien...
