Chapter Chapter 4 in Decision Systems and Nonstochastic Randomness, 2010, pp 71-107 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The results of Chapter 3 allow us to look in a new way at the problem of decision-making under uncertainty as a whole. Let us begin by noticing that in research in this field there is one at first sight terminological, but in fact rather fundamental, confusion. Some authors, following [46], mention only two types of behavior of the cause–effect mechanism that generates consequences: (1) so-called complete uncertainty, or just uncertainty, when nothing is known about the mechanism and (2) so-called risk, when consequences are random with a given probability distribution. Others, such as [80] and [79], consider this second variant as one of the main types of uncertainty, and call it correspondingly stochastic uncertainty or a first information situation.
