Abstract
An engineering analysis requires a realistic quantification of all input information. The amount and quality of the available information dictates the uncertainty model and its associated quantification concept. For inconsistent information, a distinction between probabilistic and non-probabilistic characteristics is beneficial. In this distinction, uncertainty refers to probabilistic characteristics and non-probabilistic characteristics are summarized as imprecision. When uncertainty and imprecision occur simultaneously, the uncertainty model fuzzy randomness appears useful. In a Bayesian approach the fuzzy probabilistic model provides the opportunity to take account of imprecision in data and in prior expert knowledge. The Bayesian approach extended to inconsistent information is demonstrated by means of an example.
