| contents | Uncertainty Levels of Second-Order Probability David Sundgren Alexander Karlsson Computación second entropy Uncertainty order probability Since second-order probability distributions assignprobabilities to probabilities there is uncertainty on two levels.Although different types of uncertainty have been distinguishedbefore and corresponding measures suggested, the distinctionmade here between first- and second-order levels of uncertaintyhas not been considered before. In this paper previously existingmeasures are considered from the perspective of first- andsecond-order uncertainty and new measures are introduced. Weconclude that the concepts of uncertainty and informativenessneeds to be qualified if used in a second-order probability contextand suggest that from a certain point of view information cannot be minimized, just shifted from one level to another. 2013 artículo científico 1870-9044 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=402640462002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4026 Polibits application/pdf Instituto Politécnico Nacional Polibits (México) Vol.48 |
