Fuzzy sets and statistical data (Q1073470): Difference between revisions

Specific features of probability and possibility theories are discussed with emphasis on semantical aspects. Instead of putting forward the acknowledged usefulness of possibility theory for the non-statistical modelling of subjective categories, we try to figure out how statistical data and possibility theory could be matched. As a result, procedures for constructing weak possibilistic substitutes of probability measures, and for processing imprecise statistical data are outlined. They provide new insights on the relationship between fuzzy sets and probability theories.
