Informetric distributions. III. Ambiguity and randomness

A. Bookstein

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1997, vol. 48, issue 1, 2-10

Abstract: This article examines various kinds of uncertainty. The notion of ambiguity is defined and contrasted with the more familiar notions of randomness and fuzziness. Functional forms resistant to ambiguity are defined, and it is shown how to incorporate a random component, that is itself also resistant to ambiguity, into a resilient, but deterministic, model.
