Description

This overview of subjective probability ranges from discussion of the philosophy of axiom systems through studies in the psychological laboratory to the real world of business decision-making. The multidisciplinary nature of this volume - which includes authorities who are psychologists, philosophers, statisticians, management scientists, educationalists and corporate planners - illustrates the essentially human challenge of this project.
