- Abstract:
- The main purpose of this paper is to present a possibility theory-based generalization of conventional interval propagation to coverage intervals. Indeed, the whole set of coverage intervals for all the probability levels stacked on top of one another constitutes a possibility distribution. Thus by slight modifications of Zadeh’s extension principle, we will prove that it is possible to compute the coverage intervals of an indirect measurement from many other measurements (possibly dependent) by a known non decreasing relationship.
