On the Nature of Fuzz: A Diatribe.

Robertson, Stephen E.

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v29 n6 p304-07 Nov 1978

The imprecision of some concepts used in formal models in information science has led to attempts to apply fuzzy set theory to aspects of information science. An analysis of various kinds of imprecision that can occur indicates that fuzzy set theory is not an appropriate formalism for these models. (Author/MBR)
