Abstract
Summary This paper deals first with the relationship between the theory of probability and the theory of rational behaviour. A method is then suggested for encouraging people to make accurate probability estimates, a connection with the theory of imformation being mentioned. Finally Wald’s theory of statistical decision functions is summarised and generalised and its relation to the theory of rational behaviour is discussed.
