Optimal Statistical Decisions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of probability theory in the context of sample spaces and decision problems, including the following: 1.1 Experiments and Sample Spaces, and Probability 2.2.3 Random Variables, Random Vectors and Distributions Functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reaching a Consensus
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a group of individuals who must act together as a team or committee, and assume that each individual in the group has his own subjective probability distribution for the unknown value of some parameter.
Book
Probability and statistics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define the notion of conditional probability as the probability of a union of events with respect to a given set of variables, and define a set of classes of variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Comparison and Evaluation of Forecasters.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present methods for comparing and evaluating forecasters whose predictions are presented as their subjective probability distributions of various random variables that will be observed in the future, e.g. weather forecasters who each day must specify their own probabilities that it will rain in a particular location.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncertainty, Information, and Sequential Experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the sequential sampling rule is studied for various uncertainty functions and experiments, and the problem of optimally choosing the experiments to be performed sequentially from a class of available experiments is considered when the goal is either to minimize the expected uncertainty after a fixed number of experiments or to minimise the expected number of tests needed to reduce the uncertainty to a fixed level.
