Characterizing Fuzzy Measures Used in Uncertainty Representation

Abstract

We introduce the fuzzy measure and its use in representing information about uncertain variables. The relationship between the fuzzy measure and the Dempster-Shafer belief structure is discussed. A method for generating the family of fuzzy measures associated with a D–S belief structure is described. We discuss the use of the Shapley index as a means for introducing an extension of concept of entropy to fuzzy measures. We introduce the cardinality index of a fuzzy measure and use it to define the attitudinal character of a fuzzy measure.

Keywords. fuzzy measures, cardinality based measures, entropy, attitude
