Indefinite probabilities are used in Probabilistic Logic Networks, and extend imprecise probabilities into probabilities of the form ([.6,.8],.9,4), with the meaning "the odds are .9 that after 4 more observations of the underlying phenomenon, the observed mean of the probability distribution will lie in the interval between .6 and .8". This is a highly compacted way of representing an envelope of probability distributions associated with a phenomenon.


Aspects of indefinite probabilities are described in papers by Matt Ikle' and Ben Goertzel, available on the websites of the 2006 AGI Workshop (http://www.agiri.org/workshop/) and the AGI-08 conference in Memphis (http://agi-08.org)
