Subjective probability: A
person's belief about the probability of some event E that is measured
and indicated by the betting odds the person is willing to accept for E.
The term 'subjective probability' is used in this Dictionary in
conformity with the subjective interpretation of probability, which
holds that probabilities are degrees of belief of persons that conform
to the calculus of probabilities, and that can be found by asking
persons what betting odds they are willing to accept.
There is a related notion, namely
personal probability, which
is not wedded to the subjective interpretation of probability.
