Inference by Multiple Identical Observers
Probability
2025-09-04 v3
Abstract
We consider models for inference which involve observers which may have multiple copies, such as in the Sleeping Beauty problem. We establish a framework for describing these problems on a probability space satisfying Kolmogorov's axioms, and this enables the main competing solutions to be compared precisely.
