Divergence Measures: From Uncertainty to Imprecision

The link between information theory and fuzzy logic has been proven in several previous papers. From this starting point, we propose here a review about the concept of divergence measures, which was proposed as a tool for comparing two fuzzy sets. The initial definition comes from the ideas behind the classical concept of divergence between two probability distributions. Following a path similar to the one considered to obtain fuzziness measures from uncertainty measures, we are able to define fuzzy divergences. Apart from that, some possible generalizations are considered.
