Qualitative Measures of Ambiguity

چکیده
This paper introduces a qualitative measure of ambiguity and analyses its relationship with other measures of uncertainty. Prob ability measures rela.ti ve likelihoods, while ambiguity measures vagueness surrounding those judgments. Ambiguity is an impor tant represent.ation of uncertain knowledge. It deals with a different type of uncertainty modeled by subjective probability or belief.

Histogram Thresholding using Beam Theory and Ambiguity Measures
This paper presents a novel histogram thresholding technique based on the beam theory of solid mechanics and the minimization of ambiguity in information. First, a beam theory based histogram modification process is carried out. This beam theory based process considers a distance measure in order to modify the shape of the histogram. The ambiguity in the overall information given by the modifie...
متن کاملComparing the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy (paroxetine), modular cognitive- behavioral therapy and their combination in distress tolerance, ambiguity tolerance and meta-worry in female university students with generalized anxiety disorder
Introduction In the last two decades, the interest in understanding the nature of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and the development of effective treatment methods for GAD has increased among psychologists. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy, modular cognitive-behavioral therapy and their combination in distress tolerance, ambiguity tolerance and meta-worr...
متن کاملObservation Filtering: from Qualitative Simulation to Qualitative Observer
Qualitative simulation as one of the main techniques in qualitative reasoning has the great potential to solve engineering problems, only if the difficulty of ambiguity can be overcome. On the other hand in many applications measurements are available and can be used to reduce the ambiguity. We propose in this paper Qualitative Observer, which is based on qualitative simulation and applied by O...
متن کاملReliability Measures Measurement under Rule-Based Fuzzy Logic Technique
In reliability theory, the reliability measures contend the very important and depreciative role for any system analysis. Measurement of reliability measures is not easy due to ambiguity and vagueness which exist within reliability parameters. It is also very difficult to incorporate a large amount of uncertainty in well-established methodologies and techniques. However, fuzzy logic provides an...
متن کاملPerceived Ambiguity and Relevant Measures∗
We axiomatize preferences that can be represented by a monotonic aggregation of subjective expected utilities generated by a utility function and some set of i.i.d. probability measures over a product state space, S∞. For such preferences, we define relevant measures, show that they are treated as if they were the only marginals possibly governing the state space and connect them with the measu...
