Abstract

In recent decades, the concept of subjective probability has been increasingly applied to an adversaryÕs choices in strategic games. A careful examination reveals that the standard construction of subjective probabilities does not apply in this context. We show how the difficulty may be overcome by means of a different construction, and provide an axiomatic fondation for it.
