The aim of the paper is to study Bayesian-like inference processes involving coherent finitely maxitive T-conditional possibilities assessed on infinite sets of conditional events. Coherence of an assessment consisting of an arbitrary possibilistic prior and an arbitrary possibilistic likelihood function is proved, thus a closed form expression for the envelopes of the relevant joint and posterior possibilities is given when T is the minimum or a strict t-norm. The notions of disintegrability and conglomerability are also studied and their relevance in the infinite version of the possibilistic Bayes formula is highlighted.

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to study Bayesian-like inference processes involving coherent finitely maxitive T-conditional possibilities assessed on infinite sets of conditional events. Coherence of an assessment consisting of an arbitrary possibilistic prior and an arbitrary possibilistic likelihood function is proved, thus a closed form expression for the envelopes of the relevant joint and posterior possibilities is given when T is the minimum or a strict t-norm. The notions of disintegrability and conglomerability are also studied and their relevance in the infinite version of the possibilistic Bayes formula is highlighted.
