The Captain's Problem. fw: Relation between variables Forecast of the weather (F) and Weather at sea (W)

Description

This dataset is the tt matrix establishing the relation between the two variables. An accurate forecast is described by this subset of two event: (Forecast = foul, Weather = foul) and (Forecast = fair, Weather = fair). We assign a mass value of 0.8 to this subset. The remaining mass of 0.2 is allotted to the frame. To construct the tt matrix, we put the variables F and W side by side, as in a truth table representation. Each pair of the subset is described by a row of the matrix as a vector of zeros and ones.

Usage

fw

Format

An integer matrix with 4 rows and 6 columns.

[1,c(1,2)]

value = 0, not used

[1,3:6]

Identification numbers of the two variables. Column 3,6: variable 5; columns 5,6: variable 7.

nospec

identification number of the specification

m

the value of the specification, a number between 0 and 1

foul

1 if foul is part of the specification, 0 otherwise

fair

1 if fair is part of the specification, 0 otherwise
