This allows the observer to make inferences about the latent subjective probability … which we elicit subjective probabilities.

De Finetti's treatise on the theory of probability begins with the provocative statement PROBABILITY DOES NOT EXIST …, meaning that probability does not exist in an objective sense. Rather, probability exists only subjectively within the minds … well as on beliefs. Most later authors, from Savage onward, have attempted to disentangle beliefs from values by …

Understanding choice under risk requires knowledge of beliefs and preferences. A variety of methods have been proposed … to elicit peoples’ beliefs. The efficacy of alternative methods, however, has not been rigorously documented. Herein we … use an experiment to test whether an induced probability can be recovered using an elicitation mechanism based on peoples …

This paper formalizes the concept of a distributional spike and its sharpness in order to describe more rigorously the 'peakedness' chracteristics of an empirical distribution. The working definition of a spike is a distribution which exhibits a discontinuity in its derivative.

The modelling of rare events via a Poisson distribution sometimes reveals substantial over-dispersion, indicating that some unexplained discontinuity arises in the data. We suggest modelling this over-dispersion by a Poisson mixture.
