Abstract

A lot of surveys showed that human uncertainty does not behave like fuzziness. For example, we say “the input is about 10.” Generally, we employ fuzzy variable to describe the concept of “about 10”; then there exists a membership function, such as a triangular one (9, 10, 11). Based on this membership function, we can obtain that the lifetime is “exactly 10” with possibility measure 1. On the other hand, the opposite event of “not exactly 10” has the same possibility measure. The conclusion that “not 10” and “exactly 10” have the same possibility measure is not appropriate.
