Abstract: We provide a description of the methods for representation and processing uncertainty that may be implemented to the problem of respondents’ behavior rate estimate on the base of respondents’ self-reports about last behavior episodes. We consider probability approach, Bayesian approach, Dempster–Shafer evidence theory, fuzzy sets theory and their application to the described problem.

Keywords: uncertainty, behavior models, information deficiency, probability approach, Dempster–Shafer evidence theory, fuzzy sets, Bayesian approach, imprecision.
