Probability Bounds Analysis (PBA) is a quantitative method used in decision-making and risk analysis that helps assess uncertainty in probabilistic models. It is particularly beneficial when precise probability distributions are difficult to obtain, and instead, one may only have limited information about the underlying uncertainties. PBA uses interval probability distributions to represent the uncertainties and derive bounds on the probabilities of various outcomes.
P-boxes (probability boxes) and probability bounds analysis are powerful tools in the field of uncertainty quantification and risk assessment. They provide a systematic way to characterize and handle uncertainties in various applications, particularly when precise probability distributions are difficult to obtain.
A credal set is a concept from the field of uncertainty and reasoning under uncertainty, particularly in the context of probability theory and belief representation. It represents a set of probability distributions that reflect an individual's or an agent's beliefs about a certain event or scenario, especially when the agent does not have precise probability information.
The Fréchet inequalities are a set of mathematical inequalities related to the concept of distance in metric spaces and the properties of certain functions. They are particularly significant in the context of probability and statistics, especially in relation to the Fréchet distance, which is used to measure the similarity between two probability distributions. In probability theory, the Fréchet inequalities express relationships between various statistical metrics, often involving expectations and norms.
