During the exploitation of an archaeological geographical information system, experts need to evaluate the anteriority in pairs of dates which are uncertain and inaccurate, and consequently represented by fuzzy numbers. To build their hypotheses, they need to have an assessment, taking value in [0, 1], of the relation ''lower than'' between two FNs. We answer the experts' need of evaluation by constructing an anteriority index based on the Kerre index. Two applications, which constitute a step in the evaluation of the evolution of Reims during the domination of the Roman Empire, illustrate the use of the anteriority index.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
