In the first part of this paper, structure–odour relationships for sandalwood odourants were studied for a set of 158 compounds (75 inactive and 83 active). The first step in the study consists in an evaluation of empirical rules concerning structure–sandalwood odour relationships, by means...

Any dynamic decision model should be based on conditional objects and must refer to (not necessarily structured) domains containing only the elements and the information of interest. We characterize binary relations, defined on an arbitrary set of conditional events, which are representable by a...

A generalized Bayesian inference framework in order to embed fuzzy sets and partial probabilistic information is provided. The general framework of reference is that of coherent conditional probabilities, which allows giving a rigorous interpretation of membership function as a conditional...
