Overview

If dealing with several uncertain values, it may be useful to represent them as an uncertain dataset. This way, one may trivially, for example, compute statistics for a dataset consisting of samples with different types of uncertainties.

Uncertain index datasets and data value datasets

There are three main types of uncertain datasets:

• UncertainIndexDatasets contain uncertain indices.
• UncertainValueDatasets contain uncertain data values.
• UncertainIndexValueDatasets represent datasets for which both the indices and the data values are uncertain. It uses UncertainIndexDatasets to represent the indices and UncertainValueDatasets to represent the data values.

Generic dataset type

There's also a generic uncertain dataset type for when you don't care about distinguishing between indices and data values:

• UncertainDataset contains uncertain indices.
