In recent years, dealing with uncertainty using interval probabilities is receiving considerable attention by researchers. Most of researches related to interval probabilities, such as combination, marginalization, condition, Bayesian inferences, assume interval probabilities are known. How to elicit interval probabilities from subject is a basic problem for the applications of interval probability theory and till now a computational challenge. In this research, the approaches for estimating interval probabilities are proposed with the pair-wise comparison of the possible outcomes to know which one is more likely to occur. The first method is LP-based one. The second method is QP-based one. Interval expectation, interval entropy are investigated. The decision criteria under interval probabilities are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
