... (I) “This die is fair. The probability of rolling a six is 1/6.” This claim is true or false regardless of what we know. If it is true, it is because of some features of the die. It could be explained by reference to the physical properties of the die. We can test this claim by tossing the die ...

... A≥V M (d) B or A≥V M (nd) B are those where A and B have the same probability functions. Then they are of course (weakly) ordered according to any of the criteria above. The requirement that q A (0) = q B (0) = 0 comes into play to rule out the possibility that q A (0) > q B (0), and still A >V M (d ...

Probability box
),steps=500.png?width=300)
A probability box (or p-box) is a characterization of an uncertain number consisting of both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties that is often used in risk analysis or quantitative uncertainty modeling where numerical calculations must be performed. Probability bounds analysis is used to make arithmetic and logical calculations with p-boxes.An example p-box is shown in the figure at right for an uncertain number x consisting of a left (upper) bound and a right (lower) bound on the probability distribution for x. The bounds are coincident for values of x below 0 and above 24. The bounds may have almost any shapes, including step functions, so long as they are monotonically increasing and do not cross each other. A p-box is used to express simultaneously incertitude (epistemic uncertainty), which is represented by the breadth between the left and right edges of the p-box, and variability (aleatory uncertainty), which is represented by the overall slant of the p-box.
