Information algebras in the theory of imprecise probabilities
In this paper, we show that coherent sets of gambles and coherent lower and upper previsions can be embedded into the algebraic structure of information algebra. This leads firstly, to a new perspective of the algebraic and logical structure of desirability and imprecise probabilities and secondly, it connects imprecise probabilities to other formalism in computer science sharing the same underlying structure. Both the domain free and the labeled view of the resulting information algebras are presented, considering product possibility spaces. Moreover, it is shown that both are atomistic and therefore they can be embedded in set algebras.

Algebras of Sets and Coherent Sets of Gambles
In a recent work we have shown how to construct an information algebra of coherent sets of gambles defined on general possibility spaces. Here we analyze the connection of such an algebra with the set algebra of subsets …

The Force of Proof by Which Any Argument Prevails
Jakob Bernoulli, working in the late 17th century, identified a gap in contemporary probability theory. He cautioned that it was inadequate to specify force of proof (probability of provability) for some kinds of uncerta…
Scoring Rules and Calibration for Imprecise Probabilities
What does it mean to say that, for example, the probability for rain tomorrow is between 20% and 30%? The theory for the evaluation of precise probabilistic forecasts is well-developed and is grounded in the key concepts…
Sherlock Holmes Doesn't Play Dice: The mathematics of uncertain reasoning when something may happen, that one is not even able to figure out
While Evidence Theory (also known as Dempster-Shafer Theory, or Belief Functions Theory) is being increasingly used in data fusion, its potentialities in the Social and Life Sciences are often obscured by lack of awarene…
