1. A probability estimate combiner comprising:

  • a processing unit;

    a first input coupled to said processing unit;

    a second input coupled to said processing unit;

    an output coupled to said processing unit;

    wherein said processing unit is adapted to execute a function C that has;

    a first property by which a quantity C(X, X) is further from a predetermined value X0 than X, for all values of X in a predetermined domain of X not equal to X0 and not equal to a set of bounds of the predetermined domain, wherein X0 is an interior point in the predetermined domain that corresponds to equal probability that a result is true and false;

    a second property by which C(X, X0) is equal to X; and

    a third property by which a quantity C(X0

    Δ

    X, X0

    X) is equal to X0, where Δ

    X is an increment wherein, the processing unit outputs, at the output, a combined probability estimate that is obtained by evaluating the function C.
