A General Approach to Uncertainty Representation Using Fuzzy Measures

Weintroducethe fuzzymeasureas a unifyingstructure for modelingknowledgeabout an uncertain variable. Weshowthat a large class of well establishedtypes of uncertainty representation can be modeledin this framework.A measureof entropy associated with a fuzzy measureis introducedand its manifestationfor different fuzzy measuresis described. Theproblemof uncertain decision makingfor the case in whichthe uncertainty represented by a fuzzy measure is considered. TheChoquetintegral is introduced as providing a generalization of the expectedvalue to this environment.
