Special Session on

"IMPRECISE PROBABILITIES" to be held at the 10th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS 2020) http://smps2020.uva.es/ Valladolid (Spain), September 16-18, 2020

Session topic and goal

This session is devoted to Imprecise Probability Theory. This theory involves all the mathematical models that can be used as more flexible tools than usual Probability Theory when the available information is scarce, vague or incomplete. It includes lower previsions, n-monotone capacities, belief functions, possibility measures, or non-additive measures, among others. This special session aims to include papers related to Imprecise Probabilities that either present a significant advance in the foundations or show potential applications in real problems. In addition, papers where the connection between imprecise probability theories and other fields such as fuzzy sets or game theory is emphasized are also welcome.

Theoretical  topics  of  interest  include (but are  not  limited  to):

• (coherent)  uncertainty  models
• non-additive  set-functions
• qualitative  reasoning  about  uncertainty
• limit  laws  for  imprecise  probabilities
• philosophical  foundations
• elicitation  and  inference
• robust  statistics
• decision  making
• algorithmic  issues

Applications  include  (but  are  not  limited to):

• data  mining
• classification  and  machine  learning
• risk  and  reliability  analysis
• finance
• life  sciences
• system  control  and  design

Dates

Paper submission: April 8, 2020 Author notification: April 30, 2020 Conference: September 16-18, 2020

Submissions should be made via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smps2020

Since the Easychair submission site will offer no track for the special sessions, we would be obliged if you could notify us by e-mail if you would like your paper to be included in the session on imprecise probabilities. This way we can assist the organizers during the reviewing process.
