Statistical reasoning with set-valued information : Ontic vs. epistemic views

Comparing uncertainty data in epistemic and ontic sense used to decision making problem

In the paper aspect of comparability alternatives in decision making problem by imprecise or incomplete information isexamined. In particular, new definitions of transitivity based on the measure of the intensity preference between pairsof alternatives in epistemic and ontic case is presented and its application to solve decision making problem is proposed.

Comments on "A distance-based statistical analysis of fuzzy number-valued data" by the SMIRE research group

This paper is a fine review of various aspects related to the statistical handling of “ontic” random fuzzy sets by the means of appropriate distances. It is quite comprehensive and helpful, as it clarifies the status of fuzzy sets in such methods, explains the advantages of using a distance-based approach, specifies the pitfalls in which one should not fall when dealing with “ontic” random fuzz...

Learning from Imprecise and Fuzzy Observations: Data Disambiguation through Generalized Loss Minimization

Methods for analyzing or learning from “fuzzy data” have attracted increasing attention in recent years. In many cases, however, existing methods (for precise, non-fuzzy data) are extended to the fuzzy case in an ad-hoc manner, and without carefully considering the interpretation of a fuzzy set when being used for modeling data. Distinguishing between an ontic and an epistemic interpretation of...

Answer Set Programming and Planning with Knowledge and World-Altering Actions in Multiple Agent Domains

This paper discusses the planning problem in multi-agent domains, in which agents may execute not only world-altering actions, but also epistemic actions. The paper reviews the concepts of Kripke structures and update models, as proposed in the literature to model epistemic and ontic actions; it then discusses the use of Answer Set Programming (ASP) in representing and reasoning about the effec...
