✦ Synopsis
Fuzzy measures which are upper envelopes of probability measures may play an important role to develop a general theory of Bayesian statistics. Especially from a technical point of view, a widely accepted generalized Bayes rule would be applicable for those kind of fuzzy measures.
We give su cient general conditions to ensure that fuzzy measures are upper envelopes of probability measures. They are applied to some special classes of important types of fuzzy measures, namely Sugeno fuzzy, plausibility and possibility measures. The proof of the main result is based on recently systemized inner extension procedures within abstract measure theory.

Subjects often drop out of longitudinal studies prematurely, yielding unbalanced data with unequal numbers of measures for each subject. A simple and convenient approach to analysis is to develop summary measures for each individual and then regress the summary measures on between-subject covariates
Most approaches for ranking fuzzy numbers proposed in the literature are based on fuzzy sets theory only, and suffer from lack of discrimination and occasionally conflict with intuition. It is true that fuzzy numbers are frequently partial order and cannot be compared. However, this does not allevia
