Game-theoretic foundations for probability and finance

Game-theoretic probability and finance come of age Glenn Shafer and Vladimir Vovk Probability and Finance, published in 2001, showed that perfect-information games can be used to define mathematical probability. Based on fifteen years of further research, Game-Theoretic Foundations for Probability a...
