A simultaneous axiomatization of utility and subjective probability
Philosophy of Science 34 (4):333-340 (1967)
Abstract
This paper contributes to the mathematical foundations of the model for utility theory developed by Richard Jeffrey in The Logic of Decision [5]. In it I discuss the relationship of Jeffrey's to classical models, state and interpret an existence theorem for numerical utilities and subjective probabilities and restate a theorem on their uniquenessMy notes
