Special
session on Imprecise probabilities and non-additive measures
to be held at IFSA-SCIS 2017
Joint
17th World Congress of International
Fuzzy Systems Association��and 9th International
Conference on Soft Computing and
Intelligent Systems
http://ifsa-scis2017.j-soft.org/
Description:
This session
concerns imprecise probability in
the wide sense. ��It is used as a generic term �� for ��
uncertainty �� models, both qualitative and quantitative, not
using sharp
numerical probabilities, such as comparative probabilities,
n-monotone
capacities, belief functions, possibilities, lower previsions,
etc. ��Such
models address inference problems where the relevant
information is scarce,
vague or conflicting, and decision problems where preferences
may be
incomplete. We would like to attract papers that discuss and
solve foundational
questions, or clearly demonstrate the usefulness of imprecise
��
probabilistic �� models �� in �� a particular �� application.
