The intended interpretation of the set ~ is that it consists of all epistemically possible probability measures over the states of nature, where we conceive of a probability measure as epistemically possible if it does not contradict the decision maker ...

... (ii) we refuse to allow that any one case can be regarded as one of a hypothetical series of independent similar cases. As to (i), it is well known that we have to be careful in associating arbitrarily small probability with impossibility-to avoid, for example, taking ‘impossibility’ in the strong s ...

... In his classic textbook, Billingsley (1995) writes that “the conditional probability of a set A with respect to another set B … is defined of course by P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B)/P(B), unless P(B) vanishes, in which case it is not defined at all” (427). Three things leap out at us here: the ratio is regarded ...
