A random set characterization of possibility measures

چکیده
Several authors have pointed out the relationship between consonant random sets and possibility measures. However, this relationship has only been proven for the finite case, where the inverse M€ obius of the upper probability induced by the random set simplifies the computations to a great extent. In this paper, we study the connection between both concepts for arbitrary referential spaces. We complete existing results about the lack of an implication in general with necessary and sufficient conditions for the most interesting cases. 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Characterization of efficient points of the production possibility set under variable returns to scale in DEA
We suggest a method for finding the non-dominated points of the production possibility set (PPS) with variable returns to scale (VRS) technology in data envelopment analysis (DEA). We present a multiobjective linear programming (MOLP) problem whose feasible region is the same as the PPS under variable returns to scale for generating non-dominated points. We demonstrate that Pareto solutions o...
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 کاملPossibility Measures, Random Sets and Natural Extension
We study the relationship between possibility and necessity measures defined on arbitrary spaces, the theory of imprecise probabilities, and elementary random set theory. We show how special random sets can be used to generate normal possibility and necessity measures, as well as their natural extensions. This leads to interesting alternative formulas for the calculation of these natural extens...
متن کاملProbability-possibility DEA model with Fuzzy random data in presence of skew-Normal distribution
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical method to evaluate the performance of decision-making units (DMU). In the performance evaluation of an organization based on the classical theory of DEA, input and output data are assumed to be deterministic, while in the real world, the observed values of the inputs and outputs data are mainly fuzzy and random. A normal distribution is a contin...
