Abstract

Mathematical theories of uncertainty in which measures of uncertainty are now well established are fuzzy set theory, evidence theory, and possibility theory, in addition to classical set theory and probability theory. Some of these theories are connected. Classical set theory is subsumed under fuzzy set theory. Probability theory and possibility theory are branches of evidence theory, while evidence theory is, in turn, a branch of fuzzy measure theory. Although information aspects of fuzzy measure theory have not been investigated as yet, the theory is briefly introduced in this chapter because it represents a broad framework for future research.
