Abstract :
The authors develop a multidimensional approach to approximate reasoning. A multidimensional array, called a transition matrix, is defined which stores the joint probabilities of the occurrences of a set of n variables taking their values in different sets. Using the transition matrix it is possible to compute the information regarding the probability of occurrences of the variables as certain matrix products
