We present an application of the measure of total uncertainty on convex sets of probability distributions, also called credal sets, to the construction of classification trees. In these classification trees the probabilities of the classes in each one of its leaves is estimated by using

We present a new approach to measure uncertainty/information applicable to theories based on convex sets of probability distributions, also called credal sets. A definition of a total disaggregated uncertainty measure on credal sets is proposed in this paper motivated by recent outcomes

ABSTRACT. We report results of duplicate measurements of dissolved organic carbon concentrations ([DOC] as µM) and 14C in seawater in order to assess the total uncertainty of reported [DOC] and 14C measurements via the UV oxidation method. In addition, pure International Atomic Energy Agency

Preface to the 1994 Edition The previous edition, which was the first, of this National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Technical Note (TN 1297) was initially published in January 1993. A second printing followed shortly thereafter, and in total some 10 000 copies were distributed

An alternative W mass estimator in e + e − → W + W − → q¯q ′ ¯qq ′ events at LEP2 is designed to optimize the balance between the statistical uncertainty and the systematic uncertainty due to a possible Colour Reconnection effect. The preliminary result for the total uncertainty on the W mass

Abstract: This paper describes and compares various hierarchical mixture prior formulations of variable selection uncertainty in normal linear regression models. These include the nonconjugate SSVS formulation of George and McCulloch (1993), as well as conjugate formulations which allow

. The uncertainty in the published estimates for BC emissions is a factor of two to five on regional scales and at least 50% on global scales. High BC emissions ( Regional hotspots Until about the 1950s, North America and Western Europe were the major sources of soot emissions, but now developing nations

is deterministic. Nevertheless, factors are often known with uncertainty and the influence of this ignorance is important for the practician. Due to the computing time, it is not possible to obtain the uncertainty of the response through a standard Monte Carlo method and an approximation of the simulator, a meta
