Consistency for uncertainty measures

International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 1998
The problem of the consistency for the assessment of a set of data in the framework of nonadditive measures is considered. In particular, some cases are analyzed in the quantitative setting in comparison with classical probability assessments. An actual extension of consistency to belief and plausibility measures is developed.

The measurement of uncertainty

Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1961
To express results of experimentation in statistical notation has become a common practice and standard requirement. Indeed, statistics has been adopted as routine aspect of the conduct of experiments to an extent which makes statistical terminology seemingly self‐evident.

Measuring uncertainty of MANET

2014 Eleventh International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN), 2014
MANET is a multi-hop network comprised of nodes that need to work in collaboration with each other for effective routing. But unfortunately, there is possibility of some nodes misbehaving for their own interests and disturbing the network. Therefore, reliability among nodes is very important in the network.

Measurement, Models, and Uncertainty

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2012
Against the tradition, which has considered measurement able to produce pure data on physical systems, the unavoidable role played by the modeling activity in measurement is increasingly acknowledged, particularly with respect to the evaluation of measurement uncertainty.

Disagreement as a Measure of Uncertainty

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, 1996
This paper presents evidence from the Livingston survey of inflation forecasts that forecaster disagreement provides a useful measure of forecast uncertainty. The evidence is analogous to the evidence for ARCH effects. Disagreement at the time of the forecast has as large positive effect on the conditional variance of the subsequent forecast error.

The Measurement of Uncertainty in Illness

Nursing Research, 1981
The purpose of this investigation was to explore the role of uncertainty as a significant variable influencing patients' experiences in illness, treatment, and hospitalization. A theory was proposed on uncertainty in illness. Based upon this conceptualization, a 30-item scale tapping the uncertainty in symptomatology, diagnosis, treatment, relationship

ON THE MEANING AND MEASURE OF UNCERTAINTY

Metroeconomica, 1952
Summary§ 1. The additive procedure of numerical probability not applicable to assessment of the merit of a non‐divisible non‐seriable experiment. ‐ § 2. The difficulties of supposing that courses of action are compared by considering amultiplicity of hypotheses about the outcome of each. ‐ § 3.

Measurement uncertainty in the pH measurement procedure

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2002
A measured value without even an approximate knowledge of the uncertainty is worthless. The uncertainty is part of every measured value and specification of the uncertainty is part of every analytical procedure. The uncertainty makes the value independent of its origin.

Expanded Uncertainty of a Measurement and an Uncertainty Budget for a Single Measurement

2014
This chapter takes the standard uncertainty calculated in the previous chapter and shows how to apply a statistical confidence in order to determine the expanded uncertainty, which is commonly referred to as “the uncertainty of a measurement.” The chapter demonstrates how uncertainties quoted at one level of confidence (e.g., on a calibration ...
