The purpose of this paper is propose a simple de…nition of an interval-valued probability measure and to examine some of the implications of this de…nition. This de…nition provides a method for characterizing certain types of imprecise probabilities. We develop some properties of this de…nition and propose a de…nition of integration with respect to it. We show that this de…nition is a generaliz...

Different languages that are offered to model vague preferences are reviewed and an interval-valued language is proposed to resolve a particular difficulty encountered with other languages. It is shown that interval-valued languagesare well definedfor De Morgan triples constructedby continuoustriangular norms, conorms and a strong negation function. A new transitivity condition for vague prefer...

The search algorithm presented allows the CDF of a dependent variable to be bounded with 100% confidence, and allows for a guaranteed evaluation of the error involved. These reliability bounds are often enough to make decisions, and require a minimal number of function calls. The procedure is not intrusive, i.e. it can be equally applied when the function is a complex computer model (black box)...

This paper introduces a new type of statistical model: the interval-valued linear model, which describes the linear relationship between an interval-valued output random variable and real-valued input variables. Firstly, we discuss the notions of variance and covariance of set-valued and interval-valued random variables. Then, we give the definition of the intervalvalued linear model and its le...

We define the Cartesian product, composition, union and join on interval-valued fuzzy graphs and investigate some of their properties. We also introduce the notion of interval-valued fuzzy complete graphs and present some properties of self complementary and self weak complementary interval-valued fuzzy complete graphs.

It was John Maynard Keynes [13] who first forcibly argued that probabilities cannot be simply ordered. There are cases, he argued, in which the probability of the hypothesis h can be regarded neither as greater than that of hypothesis k, nor less than that of hypothesis k, nor yet equal to that of hypothesis k. Although he did not provide a mathematical structure for his probability values, he ...

The aim of this work is to analyze the interval canonical representation for fuzzy QL-implications and automorphisms. Intervals have been used to model the uncertainty of a specialist’s information related to truth values in the fuzzy propositional calculus: the basic systems are based on interval fuzzy connectives. Thus, using subsets of the real unit interval as the standard sets of truth deg...

In this paper we introduce the notion of interval-valued (∈,∈ ∨qm̃)− fuzzy subquasigroups and present some of their properties. We characterize interval-valued (∈,∈ ∨qm̃)− fuzzy subquasigroups by their level subsets. The implication-based such new fuzzy subquasigroups are also established.

Payoffs in (bimatrix) games are usually not known precisely, but it is often possible to determine lower and upper bounds on payoffs. Such interval valued bimatrix games are considered in this paper. There are many questions arising in this context. First, we discuss the problem of existence of an equilibrium being common for all instances of interval values. We show that this property is equiv...
