On Possibility/probability Transformations
The problem of converting possibility measures into probability measures has received attention in the past, but not by so many scholars. This question is philosophically interesting as part of the debate between probability and fuzzy sets. The imbedding of fuzzy sets into random set theory as done by Goodman and Nguyen (1985), Wang Peizhuang (1983), among others, has solved this question in pr...
متن کاملVariable Probability-possibility Transformation
Our team of research works on diagnosis by pattern recognition using Fuzzy Pattern Matching (FPM) as a classification method, for data coming from industrial and medical sectors. FPM uses a transformation from probability to possibility in order to construct densities of possibilities. These densities are used to assign each new sample to its suitable class which corresponds to a functioning mo...
متن کاملSampling Probability and Inference
The second part of the book looks into the probabilistic foundation of statistical analysis, which originates in probabilistic sampling, and introduces the reader to the arena of hypothesis testing. Chapter 5 explores the main random and controllable source of error, sampling, as opposed to non-sampling errors, potentially very dangerous and unknown. It shows the statistical advantages of extra...
متن کاملInductive inference based on probability and similarity∗
We advance a theory of inductive inference designed to predict the conditional probability that certain natural categories satisfy a given predicate given that others do (or do not). A key component of the theory is the similarity of the categories to one another. We measure such similarities in terms of the overlap of metabolic activity in voxels of various posterior regions of the brain in re...
متن کاملProbability- Possibility Transformations:A Brief Revisit
In this article, an annotated survey of the approaches to the transformation from probability to possibility or conversely is provided and noticeable properties of the transformation are discussed. This article proposes an approach which is different from the one described by some authors in the literature of fuzzy set theory. The alternative proposal which advocates reconstructions is presente...
