Abstract: The goal of this note is to provide a geometric setting in which generalized arithmetic means are best predictors in an appropriate metric. This characterization provides a geometric interpretation to the concept of certainty equivalent. Besides that, in this geometric setting there also exists the notion of conditional expectation as best predictor given prior information. This leads to a notion of conditional preference and to the notion of conditional certainty equivalent, which turns out to be consistent with the notion of fair pricing.
