Updating non-additive probabilities-- a geometric approach

Author

Listed:
  • Lehrer, Ehud

Abstract

A geometric approach, analogous to the approach used in the additive case, is proposed to determine the conditional expectation with non- additive probabilities. The conditional expectation is then applied for (i) updating the probability when new information becomes available; and (ii) defining the notion of independence of non-additive probabilities and Nash equilibrium.
