Abstract :
This paper presents a principle that elicits subjective probabilities from statements on the Internet. This principle consists of (1) subjective probability interpretation that transforms statements on the Internet into constraints on the subjective probabilities of humans who describe the statements, and (2) subjective probability determination that elicits subjective probabilities from the set of the constraints. This principle is introduced by referring to an example of articles for electric products on the Internet
