Title

Informetric distributions : III. Ambiguity

Abstract

This article examines various kinds of uncertainty. The notion of ambiguity is defined and contratsed with the more familiar notions of randomness and fuzziness. Functional forms resistant to ambiguity are defined, and it is shown how to incorporate a random component, that is itself also rsistant to ambiguity, into a resilent, but deterministic model
