Measures of uncertainty and information

George J Klir

pp. 439-457

This chapter is an overview of current research regarding measures of uncertainty and information in five mathematical theories: classical set theory, fuzzy set theory, probability theory, possibility theory, and the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. Three types of uncertainty are involved: nonspecificity, entropy-like uncertainty, and fuzziness.
