Dear Prof Zadeh, Perhaps you could elucidate what you mean by "cointensive"? (I assume this is explained in detail in your paper, but I also assume that one purpose of your post here is to convince people that it will be worth investing the time to read the paper.) Also, what do you understand

Dear Konrad, Thank you for raising important questions relating to the relationship between probabilistic and non-probabilistic approaches to uncertainty. The probability community stubbornly holds to the Dennis Lindley view that standard probability theory is all that is needed to deal

Computation with Imprecise Probabilities--The Problem of Vera's Age In large measure, real-world probabilities are imprecise. For this reason, computation with imprecise probabilities is not an academic exercise--it is a bridge to reality. Peter Walley's 1991 seminal work "Statistica
