In fact I have been thinking about how one might attempt a dutch book
against Novamente involving your multiple component values, but I do
not yet fully understand b. My impression at the moment is that b is
similar to 'power' in conventional statistics -- a real number from 0
to 1 that roughly speaking acts as a measure of the robustness of the
analysis. Fair comparison?
The power of a statistical hypothesis test measures the test's ability
to reject the null hypothesis when it is actually false ... this has
very little to do with indefinite or imprecise probabilities...
Let me ask you in a different way:
Can b be regarded as a measure of Novamente's confidence in p?
All other things being equal, does b increase with N?
