Title
Possibility Measures in Probabilistic Inference
Abstract
By means of a logical condition between two partitions L and L' ("weak logical independence"), we find connections between probabilities and possibilities. We show that the upper envelope of the extensions of a probability on L is a possibility on the algebra generated by L'. Moreover we characterize the set of possibilities obtained as extensions of a coherent probability on an arbitrary set: in particular, we find the two "extreme" (i.e., dominated and dominating) possibilities.
