Uncertainty based information :

Information & uncertainty
In Uncertainty based information, uncertainty
is involved in any problem solving situation is
a result of some information deficiency
Information may be incomplete, imprecise,
fragmentary, not fully reliable, vague,
contradictory, or deficient in some other way.
In general these various information
deficiencies may result in different types of
uncertainty

Uncertainty based information:

Information & uncertainty (Cont..)
It is not explicitly concerned with semantic &
progmatic aspects of information viewed.
The ultimate goal of generalized information
theory is capture properties of uncertainty
based inforamation formalized within any
feasible mathematical framework.

Uncertainty based information:

Information & uncertainty
Three type of uncertainty are
Nonspecificity
Fuzziness
strife

Nonspecificity of Crisp set set

Here class of function is
U(A)=c:logbIAI
Where IAI denotes the cardinality of a finite
nonempty set A and b,c are positive
constants(b>1,c>0) is the only sensible way to
measure the amount of uncertainty
associated with a finite set of possible
alternatives

Nonspecificity of crisp set

When b=2, c=1, we obtain
U(A)=logbIAI
One bit of uncertainty is equivalent to the total
uncertainty regarding the truth or falsity of
proposition.
Following types of uncertainty are occurred
Predictive uncertainty
Reproductive uncertainty
Prescriptive uncertainty

Nonspecificity of Fuzzy set

A natural generalization of classical set to
fuzzy set theory is U-uncertainty.
For any nonempty fuzzy set A defined on a
finite universal set X, function has the form
U(A)=1/h(A)log2IAId;
Where IAI denotes the cardinality of the cut
of A and h(A) is the height of A.

Fuzziness of Fuzzy set

A measure of Fuzziness is a function
f=F(x) R+
Where F(X) denotes the set of all fuzzy subset of X.
For each fuzzy set A, this function assigns a
nonnegative real number f(A)that express the
degree to whch the boundary of A is not sharp

Fuzziness of Fuzzy set

The foolwing requirement are essential
f(A)=0 iff A is a cisp set;
f(A) attain its maximum iff A(x)=0.5 for all x
belongs to X
f(A)f(B) when set A is sharper than set A
A(x)B(x) when B(x) 0.5
and
A(x)B(x) when B(x) 0.5

Fuzziness of Fuzzy set

When nonspecificity is reduced , we view the
reduction as a gain in information ,regardless
of the associated change in fuzziness.
The opposite is not true.
