TL;DR
The mass assignment theory of conditional probabilities is shown to be probability/possibility consistent and an alternative theory of unconditional probabilities based on mass assignments is presented together with a number of results illustrating some intuitive properties.
Abstract
Mass assignment theory techniques for processing uncertainty in Fril are reviewed. The notion of the probability of a fuzzy event is introduced together with the t-norm definition of conditional probabilities. The latter is then shown to be probability/possibility inconsistent. An alternative theory of conditional probabilities based on mass assignments is presented together with a number of results illustrating some intuitive properties. In particular, the mass assignment theory of conditional probabilities is shown to be probability/possibility consistent.

The theory of possibility described in this paper is related to the theory of fuzzy sets by defining the concept of a possibility distribution as a fuzzy restriction which acts as an elastic constraint on the values that may be assigned to a variable.

A general query language, FRIL, which uses fuzzy base relations and rewrite rules is described and incorporates an automated fuzzy inference mechanism and should find applications in many areas of knowledge engineering such as expert systems, linguistic controllers, etc.

91 Citations1979Ronald R. Yager
This definition is compared with Zadeh's definition of using the expected value of A as the probability of A and it is shown that the distinction between these two definitions is based upon the choice of definition for the cardinality of a fuzzy subset.

53 Citations1982Philippe Smets
Axioms are proposed that could justify the natural definition of the probability of a fuzzy event initially given by Zadeh based on the postulate that the sum of the conditional probability and its complement given any fuzzy event adds to one or on soft independence for orthogonal sets with independent constitutive elements.

The weighted max-combination view which leads to another type of scalar evaluation is briefly discussed and the above approach is more particularly applied to the treatment of queries asking for some global evaluation of a set of items specified by means of a fuzzy property.

The different representations of a fuzzy set, by a membership function or as weighted collections of crisp sets, induce various ways of extending confidence measures to fuzzy events, or more generally any evaluation dealing with sets to fuzzy sets.

This paper shows direct connections between fuzzy set theory and classical probability theory through the use of random sets through characterizations of random intervals one-point-coverage equivalent to fuzzy sets and the solution of the one- and multiple-point coverage problems for random sets in finite spaces.

While FS's do not satisfy all the laws of Boolean algebra fuzzy sets that are almost standard almost satisfy these laws, the extent to which such laws are satisfied decreases as their complexity increases.
