Dates: 12/11 (14h15 - 18h30), Sébastien Destercke
These first lectures will introduce generic uncertainty models, motivate their needs and justify them from a theoretical perspective using a betting scheme.
Objective of the lecture:
After the lectures, the students should be able to
- Motivate, from a betting perspective, why probabilities are good candidates for modelling uncertainties and making decisions
- Provide reasons why one may wish to go beyond probabilities, i.e., why one could consider them not completely satisfactory
- Propose an extension of probabilities taking care of those potential critics
- Know and manipulate some specific models that have "easy" mathematical properties
- Know and apply decision rules in generic uncertainty contexts
