Measures of Uncertainty and Information
نویسنده
چکیده
This contribution overviews the approaches results and history of attempts at measuring uncertainty and information in the various theories of imprecise prob abilities The main focus however is on the theory of belief functions or the Dempster Shafer theory and the possibility theory as most of the devel opment so far has happened there Due to the limited space I am focusing on the main ideas and point to references for details There are several other published overviews of the subject e g one monograph and parts of two other monographs touch upon the subject also This writing sum marizes my personal view of the subject I do not cover measuring fuzziness here Please see one of the above references for an introduction and relevant references

Dynamic Bayesian Information Measures
This paper introduces measures of information for Bayesian analysis when the support of data distribution is truncated progressively. The focus is on the lifetime distributions where the support is truncated at the current age t>=0. Notions of uncertainty and information are presented and operationalized by Shannon entropy, Kullback-Leibler information, and mutual information. Dynamic updatings...
متن کاملA new vector valued similarity measure for intuitionistic fuzzy sets based on OWA operators
Plenty of researches have been carried out, focusing on the measures of distance, similarity, and correlation between intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs).However, most of them are single-valued measures and lack of potential for efficiency validation.In this paper, a new vector valued similarity measure for IFSs is proposed based on OWA operators.The vector is defined as a two-tuple consisting of ...
متن کاملSHAPLEY FUNCTION BASED INTERVAL-VALUED INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY VIKOR TECHNIQUE FOR CORRELATIVE MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING PROBLEMS
Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) has developed to cope with the uncertainty of imprecise human thinking. In the present communication, new entropy and similarity measures for IVIFSs based on exponential function are presented and compared with the existing measures. Numerical results reveal that the proposed information measures attain the higher association with the existing me...
متن کاملFuzzy relations, Possibility theory, Measures of uncertainty, Mathematical modeling.
A central aim of educational research in the area of mathematical modeling and applications is to recognize the attainment level of students at defined states of the modeling process. In this paper, we introduce principles of fuzzy sets theory and possibility theory to describe the process of mathematical modeling in the classroom. The main stages of the modeling process are represented as fuzz...
متن کاملUncertainty analysis of hierarchical granular structures for multi-granulation typical hesitant fuzzy approximation space
Hierarchical structures and uncertainty measures are two main aspects in granular computing, approximate reasoning and cognitive process. Typical hesitant fuzzy sets, as a prime extension of fuzzy sets, are more flexible to reflect the hesitance and ambiguity in knowledge representation and decision making. In this paper, we mainly investigate the hierarchical structures and uncertainty measure...
متن کاملA New Hybrid Framework for Filter based Feature Selection using Information Gain and Symmetric Uncertainty (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Feature selection is a pre-processing technique used for eliminating the irrelevant and redundant features which results in enhancing the performance of the classifiers. When a dataset contains more irrelevant and redundant features, it fails to increase the accuracy and also reduces the performance of the classifiers. To avoid them, this paper presents a new hybrid feature selection method usi...
