520 |a This book has two main purposes. On the one hand, it provides aconcise and systematic development of the theory of lower previsions, based on the concept of acceptability, in spirit of the work ofWilliams and Walley. On the other hand, it also extends this theory todeal with unbounded quantities, which abound in practicalapplications. Following Williams, we start out with sets of acceptable gambles. Fromthose, we derive rationality criteria--avoiding sure loss andcoherence--and inference methods--natural extension--for(unconditional).
