44. Old paper by Baudrit, Couso and Dubois

Hybrid methods for uncertainty modelling are in their infancy. I suspect we might be missing a whole layer of deeper concepts underlying the familiar notions of probability, possibility, etcetera.

The near future, hierarchical Bayesian modelling rising exponentially, may be dark for some time for realistic approaches. Ideally, we'd need a compelling foundation* which would suggest simple practical implementations, reasonable for practitioners.

* No, I don't find Bayesian foundations compelling at all.
