In mathematics, fuzzy measure theory considers a number of special classes of measures, each of which is characterized by a special property. Some of the measures used in this theory are plausibility and belief measures, fuzzy set membership function and the classical probability measures. In the fuzzy measure theory, the conditions are precise, but the information about an element alone is insufficient to determine which special classes of measure should be used. The central concept of fuzzy measure theory is the fuzzy measure (also capacity, see ) which was introduced by Choquet in 1953 and independently defined by Sugeno in 1974 in the context of fuzzy integrals.

Famous quotes containing the words fuzzy, measure and/or theory:
“Even their song is not a sure thing.
It is not a language;
it is a kind of breathing.
They are two asthmatics
whose breath sobs in and out
through a small fuzzy pipe.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Who can measure the advantages that would result if the magnificent abilities of these women could be devoted to the needs of government, society and home, instead of being consumed in the struggle to obtain their birthright of individual freedom? Until this be gained we can never know, we can not even prophesy the capacity and power of women for the uplifting of humanity.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Every theory is a self-fulfilling prophecy that orders experience into the framework it provides.”
—Ruth Hubbard (b. 1924)
