contents Based on existing ideas in the field of imprecise probabilities, we present a new approach for assessing the reliability of the individual predictions of a generative probabilistic classifier. We call this approach robustness quantification, compare it to uncertainty quantification, and demonstrate that it continues to work well even for classifiers that are learned from small training sets that are sampled from a shifted distribution.
