Call for contributions Special session on Imprecise Probabilities
to be held at the 8th International Conference in Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS'2016) Rome (Italy), September 12-14, 2016. Session topic and goal This session concerns imprecise probability in the wide sense. It is used as a generic term for uncertainty models, both qualitative and quantitative not using sharp numerical probabilities (comparative probabilities, belief functions, possibilities, lower previsions, etc.). Such models address inference problems where the relevant information is scarce, vague or conflicting, and decision problems where preferences may be incomplete. We would like to attract papers that discusses and solve foundational questions, or clearly demonstrate the usefulness of imprecise probabilistic models in a particular application. We would particularly welcome papers going from theoretical advances to the solution of an associated applied problem. In case you are interested in taking part of this session, we would be obliged if you could reply saying so to <[email protected]> by December 1, 2015. Submissions between 5-8 pages should be done via easychair at https://easychair.org/ by February 15, 2016, and will undergo the usual revision process.
