Abstract
Real decisions are usually made in the state of indeterminacy. For model- ing indeterminacy, there exist two mathematical systems, one is probability theory (Kolmogorov 1933) and the other is uncertainty theory (Liu 2007). Probability is interpreted as frequency, while uncertainty is interpreted as personal belief degree.
