HECM-Plus: Hyper-Entropy Enhanced Cloud Models for Uncertainty-Aware Design Evaluation in Multi-Expert Decision Systems by Jiaozi Pu, Zongxin Liu

“…Uncertainty quantification in cloud models requires simultaneous characterization of fuzziness (via Entropy, <i>En</i>) and randomness (via Hyper-entropy, <i>He</i>), yet existing similarity measures often neglect the stochastic dispersion governed by <i>He</i>. To address this gap, we propose HECM-Plus, an algorithm integrating Expectation (<i>Ex</i>), <i>En</i>, and <i>He</i> to holistically model geometric and probabilistic uncertainties in cloud models. …”
