Uncertainty theory

AI & SOCIETY
The main goal of this chapter is to introduce the sources of uncertainty and define different types of uncertainty.

Comparative uncertainty: theory and automation

Mathematical Structures in Computer Science, 2008
In recent decades, qualitative approaches to probabilistic uncertainty have received more and more attention. We propose a characterisation of partial preference orders through a uniform axiomatic treatment of a variety of qualitative uncertainty notions.
