Abstract

Majorization, also called rearrangement inequalities, yields a type of stochastic ordering in which two or more distributions can be compared. In this paper we argue that majorization is a good candidate as a theory for uncertainty. We present operations that can be applied to study uncertainty in a range of settings and demonstrate our approach to assessing uncertainty with examples from well known distributions and from applications of climate projections and energy systems.
