An uncertain random variable is a measurable function from a probability space to the set of uncertain variables. In this paper, subadditivity property of chance measure and some inequalities on expected value for uncertain random variables including Jensen’s Inequality, Liapunov Inequality and cp Inequality are proved. Based on these inequalities, linear property and other properties of conver...

Partial entropy is a measure to characterize how much of entropy of an uncertain random variable belongs to uncertain variables. In this paper, a definition of partial quadratic entropy of uncertain random variables is proposed. Furthermore, some properties of partial quadratic entropy are derived such as positive linearity. c ©2016 World Academic Press, UK. All rights reserved.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Uncertainty and randomness are two basic types of indeterminacy, where uncertain variable is used to represent quantities with human uncertainty random applied for modeling objective randomness. In many real systems, often exist simultaneously. Then chance measure can be handle such cases. We know that the skewness a distributional asymmetry. However, concept ...

The classic newsboy problem assumes the market demand to be a random variable. However, when the decision maker wants to expand the market share, he has to provide a subjective estimate of new market demand distribution due to the lack of historical data. Thus, randomness and uncertainty simultaneously appear in a newsboy problem. The aim of this work is to extend the analysis of the classic ne...

1. A random variable is a variable that takes specific values with specific probabilities. It can be thought of as a variable whose value depends on the outcome of an uncertain event. 2. We usually denote random variables by capital letters near the end of the alphabet; e.g., X,Y,Z. 3. Example: Let X be the outcome of the roll of a die. Then X is a random variable. Its possible values are 1, 2,...

Entropy is a measure of the uncertainty associated with a variable whose value cannot be exactly predicted. Based on the notion of chance measure, a concept of uncertain random entropy is introduced and used to provide a quantitative measurement of the uncertainty associated with uncertain random variables and its properties are studied in this paper. Relative entropy is a measure of the differ...

There are various types of uncertainty in the real world. This is a motivation to investigate the behavior of uncertain phenomena. Random phenomena is one class of objective uncertain phenomena which has been well studied. Probability theory is an efficient tool to study the behavior of random phenomena. Besides randomness, fuzziness is a basic type of subjective uncertainty initiated by Zadeh....

Probabilistic logic and uncertain logic, as two branches of the multi-valued logic, have been proposed for dealing with knowledge with random factors and with human uncertainty, respectively. As a generalization, this paper proposes an uncertain random logic to deal with complex knowledge containing random factors and human uncertainty simultaneously, and derives a formula to calculate the trut...

This paper proposes a concept of uncertain random graph in which some edges exist with some degrees in probability measure and others exist with some degrees in uncertain measure, and discusses the connectivity index of an uncertain random graph. In addition, this paper presents a concept uncertain random network in which some weights are random variables and others are uncertain variables, and...
