Inter-Personal Communication of Precise and Imprecise Subjective Probabilities
We analyze communication of uncertainty among individuals as a function of the parties’ preference for modes of communication. We assume that different individuals may prefer pr...

The Maximal Variance of Fuzzy Interval
The paper gives the solution of calculating maximal variance of fuzzy interval in the scope of the theory of imprecise probabilities. As it appears, this problem is more difficul...

Some Results on Generalized Coherence of Conditional Probability Bounds
Based on the coherence principle of de Finetti and a related notion of generalized coherence (g-coherence), we adopt a probabilistic approach to uncertainty based on conditional p...

How to Deal with Partially Analyzed Acts? A Proposal
In some situations, a decision is best represented by an incompletely analyzed act: conditionally to a certain event, the consequences of the decision on sub-events are perfectly ...

Robust Estimators under the Imprecise Dirichlet Model
Walley’s Imprecise Dirichlet Model (IDM) for categorical data overcomes several fundamental problems which other approaches to uncertainty suffer from. Yet, to be useful in prac...

Analysis of Local or Asymmetric Dependencies in Contingency Tables using the Imprecise Dirichlet Model
We consider the statistical problem of analyzing the association between two categorical variables from cross-classified data. The focus is put on measures which enable one to st...

Bounding Analysis of Lung Cancer Risks Using Imprecise Probabilities
For cancers with more than one risk factor, the sum of probabilistic estimates of the number of cancers attributable to each individual factor may exceed the total number of cases...
