Abstract :
We address the problem of parameter estimation using Levi´s (1980) epistemological framework of rational decision making; the resulting estimators accurately reflect the decision agent´s knowledge, willingness to risk error, and values. In this paper, previous results are extended to include valuational convexity, yielding estimators that address conflicted values
