We explore the interplay between random and deterministic phenomena using a representation of uncertainty based on the measure-theoretic concept of outer measure. The meaning of the analogues of different probabilistic concepts is investigated and examples of application are given. The novelty of this article lies mainly in the suitability of the tools introduced for jointly representing random and deterministic uncertainty. These tools are shown to yield intuitive results in simple situations and to generalise easily to more complex cases. Connections with Dempster-Shafer theory, the empirical Bayes methods and generalised Bayesian inference are also highlighted.

  1. Possibilistic Instrumental Variable Regression with Potentially Invalid Instruments

    stat.ME 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A validified possibilistic posterior yields finite-sample confidence sets for the treatment effect whenever the user's exogeneity-violation set contains the true violation.

  2. Improving Active Learning with a Bayesian Representation of Epistemic Uncertainty

    stat.ME 2024-12 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    New active learning acquisition functions derived from a possibilistic representation of epistemic uncertainty match or beat standard GP-based baselines on several classification datasets.

  3. Redesigning the ensemble Kalman filter with a dedicated model of epistemic uncertainty

    stat.ME 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new ensemble Kalman filter built on possibility theory fits the tightest Gaussian possibility function to weighted particles, yielding better calibrated uncertainty estimates from small ensembles.

  4. Elements of asymptotic theory with outer probability measures

    math.ST 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Posterior uncertainty under a class of outer measures is asymptotically normal, yielding MAP estimators and likelihood-ratio-like tests whose limits are determined by the curvature of the possibility function.
