Abstract
Credibility theory introduced by B. Liu and Y. K. Liu in [55] is another alternative to probability theory in the study of situations of uncertainty. On the basis of credibility theory lies the concept of credibility measure. In [55] the credibility of an event is defined as the arithmetic mean between its possibility and necessity and in [56] the credibility measure is axiomatically introduced.
