Abstract :
The goal of this paper to introduce two alternative definitions for the possibilistic correlation coefficient by equipping the level sets of a joint possibility distribution with nonuniform probability distributions which are directly derived from the shape function of the joint possibility distribution. We also show some examples for their exact calculation for joint possibility distributions defined by Mamdani, Łukasiewicz and Larsen triangular norms.
