Confidence Theory

Confidence Theory is a concept that describes how individuals or systems assess and judge their own certainty about information or decisions. It suggests that confidence is influenced by factors like the quality and consistency of evidence, prior experiences, and the perceived reliability of sources. Essentially, it explains why we sometimes feel highly confident about certain choices and less so about others, even when the evidence is similar. Confidence Theory helps improve decision-making processes by understanding how subjective feelings of certainty align with actual correctness or accuracy.
