MEASUREMENT OF POSSIBILISTIC HISTOGRAMS FROM INTERVAL DATA
This survey paper contains five chapters: 1. Introduction (Measurement in possibilistic semiotics); 2. Mathematical possibility theory (within general information theory); 3. Measuring devices and empirical random sets; 4. Possibilistic histograms from empirical random intervals; 5. Continuous approximations; and 48 interesting references on possibility theory and related topics. More than 20 definitions are given, e.g. general random set, evidence function, fuzzy interval, fuzzy number, empirical random set, set-frequency distribution, empirical random interval, possibilistic histogram, continuous approximation. Historically, science has moved from deterministic models to those, like quantum and statistical mechanics and chaotic dynamics, where uncertainty and indeterminism are represented in terms of probability theory. But the recent years have seen a proliferation of new, non-probabilistic mathematical methods for representation of uncertainty and information in system models. Following \textit{G. Klir} [see Zbl 0721.94002], these methods collectively are called ``General Information Theory (GIT), which includes fuzzy sets, systems and logic [\textit{G. Klir} and \textit{B. Yuan}, Fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic. Prentice Hall (1995)], fuzzy measures [\textit{Z. Wang} and \textit{G. Klir}, Zbl 0812.28010], random set [\textit{D. G. Kendall}, Zbl 0275.60068], Dempster-Shafer evidence theory [\textit{A. P. Dempster}, Zbl 0168.17501, \textit{G. Shafer}, Zbl 0359.62002], possibility theory [\textit{G. de Cooman} et al., Zbl 0887.00012], imprecise probabilities [\textit{P. Walley}, Zbl 0732.62004], rough set theory [\textit{Z. Pawlak}, Zbl 0758.68054], and others. Measurement methods are a central requirement for the semantic grounding of any mathematical system theory. Therefore the possibility theory requires objective measurement methods to extend its agenda and applications beyond the fuzzy theory from which it emerged. General measuring devices are given.
