Abstract

Let ΞΌE be the estimative and ΞΌP the predictive measures for assessing Gaussian probabilities. It is shown for convex symmetric sets A that ~ΞΌE~(A) ~ΞΌP~(A) and that similar inequalities hold between members of a sequence of predictive measures. An application yields inequalities for generalized indices of atypicality associated with the two methods.

## Abstract Let __X~a,b~__ be nonnegative random variables with the property that __X~a,b~ ≦ X~a,c~ + X~c.b~__ for all 0__≦ a < c < b ≦ T__, where __T >__ 0 is fixed. We define __M~a,b~ =__ sup {__X~a,c~: a < c ≦ h__} and establish bounds for __P__[__M~a,b~ ≧ Ξ»__] in terms of given bounds for __P[X

This paper concerns the evaluation and combination of subjective probability estimates for categorical events. We argue that the appropriate criterion for evaluating individual and combined estimates depends on the type of uncertainty the decision maker seeks to represent, which in turn depends on h
