On Certainty and Generalized Information Measures
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been customary to define measures of information by relating information to uncertainty.But Van der Lubbe et al. [12] have followed a different approach and chosen the relation between information and certainty as a starting point.They have introduced information measures with the help of certainty measures within this frame work.This approach leads to three generalized classes of information measures and unifies the known measures of information into one generalized probabilistic theory of discrete information measures.

A unified characterization of generalized information and certainty measures
In this paper we consider the axiomatic characterization of information and certainty measures in a unified way. We present the general axiomatic system which captures the common properties of a large number of the measures previously considered by numerous authors. We provide the corresponding characterization theorems and define a new generalized measure called the Inforcer, which is the quas...
متن کاملDynamic 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 کاملIntuitionistic Fuzzy Information Measures with Application in Rating of Township Development
Predominantly in the faltering atmosphere, the precise value of some factors is difficult to measure. Though, it can be easily approximated by intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic term in the real-life world problem. To deal with such situations, in this paper two information measures based on trigonometric function for intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which are a generalized version of the fuzzy informat...
متن کاملQuasi-Possibilistic Logic and its Measures of Information and Conflict
Possibilistic logic and quasi-classical logic are two logics that were developed in artificial intelligence for coping with inconsistency in different ways, yet preserving the main features of classical logic. This paper presents a new logic, called quasi-possibilistic logic, that encompasses possibilistic logic and quasi-classical logic, and preserves the merits of both logics. Indeed, it can ...
متن کاملCognitive content-specificity in future expectancies: role of hopelessness and intolerance of uncertainty in depression and GAD symptoms.
The present study examined cognitive content-specificity in future-event predictions associated with symptoms of depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). College undergraduates (N=284) completed measures of depression, GAD, and rated their certainty that a given set of positive and negative outcomes were or were not likely to happen in their future. Participants also completed measure...
