Commodious

A Conjoint Measurement Based Rationale for Inducing Preferencesmparison for estimates in empirical investigations. The measurement theoretic background and a procedure for teaching preferences are described in detail. Data from two experiments provide evidence that accurate numerical utility values can be induced with tasks that require only qualitative judgments but do not reveal any numerical information.

Hence when considering the foundations of Bayesian statistics we may as well assume countable additivity over a .-field of events.

Introductiont no probability was available, as opposed to the case of risk. What Knight meant might have been sensibly different: Was not uncertainty the case where probability could not be defined with precision, where there was no consensus measure? In the 1920s, such an imprecision was often sufficient to ma

There is a natural field of events associated with this tree, and we show that any finitely additive probability measure on this field will also be countably additive.

We first analyze the meaning of uncertainty propagation from a subjective decision-making point of view. We show that, in order to quantify uncertainty, one has to resort to the distribution of the expected utility (.) originated from parameter uncertainty.
