DESCRIPTION:Hi\, everyone\,\n\n \n\nThe Mathematics & Statistics Graduate S
 tudent Seminar will convene again this week at 1:00pm on Friday\, March 29
 \, in the Main Lounge (Burnside 1025). As usual\, there will be pizza.\n\n
  \n\nThis week\, Erfan will talk to us about subjective probability:\n\n 
 \n\nAnyone has a personal degree of belief and judgment about whether diff
 erent outcomes are likely to occur or not which is qualitative. How can yo
 u convert this into quantitative data which serve as probability values? I
  will discuss a method to convert subjective probabilities into classical 
 and numerical probabilities for both unconditional and conditional cases. 
 In other words\, we will introduce a strategy to make personal beliefs int
 o numbers satisfying Kolmogorov's axioms of probability theory. This metho
 d was introduced independently by Ramsey and De Finetti. We will prove the
  fundamental theorem about this method i.e. Ramsey - De Finetti theorem. 
 \n\n \n\nSee you all there!\n\n \n\nAll graduate students are invited. As 
 with all talks in the graduate student seminar\, this talk will be accessi
 ble to all graduate students in math and stats. This seminar was made poss
 ible by funding from the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Mathematics and Statistics Department and 
 PGSS.\n
