Abstract

This paper is an overview of the current state of affairs in the area of measuring uncertainty. Three basic types of uncertainty are introduced: nonspecificity and conflict, which result from information deficiency, and fuzziness, which results from linguistic imprecision. Well-justified measures of these types of uncertainty in fuzzy set theory, possibility theory, Dempster-Shafer, theory as well as in classical set theory and probability theory are overviewed.
