Measuring fuzzy uncertainty
Abstract
First, this paper reviews several well known measures of fuzziness for discrete fuzzy sets. Then new multiplicative and additive classes are defined. We show that each class satisfies five well-known axioms for fuzziness measures, and demonstrate that several existing measures are relatives of these classes. The multiplicative class is based on nonnegative, monotone increasing concave functions. The additive class requires only nonnegative concave functions. Some relationships between several existing and the new measures are established, and some new properties are derived. The relative merits and drawbacks of different measures for applications are discussed. A weighted fuzzy entropy which is flexible enough to incorporate subjectiveness in the measure of fuzziness is also introduced. Finally, we comment on the construction of measures that may assess all of the uncertainties associated with a physical system.>

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
