The effectiveness of imprecise probability forecasts

Article Abstract:

A study determined the feasability of algorithimically deriving precise probability forecasts from imprecise ones, specifically probability intervals and probability intervals with second-order probability distributions. The probability intervals without distributions tended to be narrower due to motivational bias, while external correspondence was revealed to be a factor for obtaining precise forecasts. Theexpectation approach also performed better than the minimum cross-entropy method.
