Description:
mprecise probability is a generic term for the many mathematical models which measure chance or uncertainty without sharp numerical
probabilities. These include models such as belief functions, Choquet capacities, comparative probability orderings, convex sets of probability
measures, fuzzy measures, interval-valued probabilities, possibility measures, and upper and lower expectations or previsions. Such models
are needed in inference problems where the relevant information is scarce, vague or conflicting, and in decision problems where preferences
are incomplete.
Imprecise probability models are now being studied and applied by a large number of researchers, working in a great variety of fields: statistics, artificial intelligence, economics, psychology, engineering, medicine, management science, etc. There is too little communication between people working in different, but related, fields or in different countries, and this sometimes results in duplication of research or in inconsistent terminology. We believe, therefore, that there is a need for a regular symposium on imprecise probabilities.
