[HTML][HTML] Smoothed model checking for uncertain continuous-time Markov chains
We consider the problem of computing the satisfaction probability of a formula for stochastic
models with parametric uncertainty. We show that this satisfaction probability is a smooth …

Discrete time Markov chains with interval probabilities
D Škulj - International journal of approximate reasoning, 2009 - Elsevier
The parameters of Markov chain models are often not known precisely. Instead of ignoring
this problem, a better way to cope with it is to incorporate the imprecision into the models …

Randomness is inherently imprecise
G De Cooman, J De Bock - International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 2022 - Elsevier
We use the martingale-theoretic approach of game-theoretic probability to incorporate
imprecision into the study of randomness. In particular, we define several notions of …

[PDF][PDF] Imprecise probability.
Quantification of uncertainty is mostly done by the use of precise probabilities: for each event
A, a single (classical, precise) probability P (A) is used, typically satisfying Kolmogorov's …

Data uncertainty in Markov chains: Application to cost-effectiveness analyses of medical innovations
Cost-effectiveness studies of medical innovations often suffer from data inadequacy. When
Markov chains are used as a modeling framework for such studies, this data inadequacy can …
