Abstract

In this paper we consider, in the framework of coherence, four different definitions of conjunction among conditional events. In each of these definitions the conjunction is still a conditional event. We first recall the different definitions of conjunction; then, given a coherent probability assessment (xy) on a family of two conditional events \(\{A|H,B|K\}\), for each conjunction \((A|H) \wedge (B|K)\) we determine the (best) lower and upper bounds for the extension \(z=P[(A|H) \wedge (B|K)]\). We show that, in general, these lower and upper bounds differ from the classical Fréchet-Hoeffding bounds. Moreover, we recall a notion of conjunction studied in recent papers, such that the result of conjunction of two conditional events A|H and B|K is (not a conditional event, but) a suitable conditional random quantity, with values in the interval [0, 1]. Then, we remark that for this conjunction, among other properties, the Fréchet-Hoeffding bounds are preserved.
