A modified belief entropy in Dempster-Shafer framework
How to quantify the uncertain information in the framework of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is still an open issue. Quite a few uncertainty measures have been proposed in Dempster-Shafer framework, however, the existing studies mainly focus on the mass function itself, the available information represented by the scale of the frame of discernment (FOD) in the body of evidence is ignored. With...
متن کاملDempster-Shafer Belief Function - A New Interpretation
We develop our interpretation of the joint belief distribution and of evidential updating that matches the following basic requirements: * there must exist an efficient method for reasoning within this framework * there must exist a clear correspondence between the contents of the knowledge base and the real world * there must be a clear correspondence between the reasoning method and some real...
متن کاملThe validity of Dempster-Shafer belief functions
This reply to papers by Pearl and Shafer focuses on two issues underlying the debate on the validity o f using Dempster-Shafer theory, namely the requirement of a process-independent semantics and the a priori need for multiple uncertainty calculi. Pearl shows deficiencies of Dempster-Shafer theory in dealing with several instances o f commonsense reasoning in a process-independent manner. Alth...
متن کاملAggregating Non-Independent Dempster-Shafer Belief Structures
We suggest an approach to the aggregation of non-independent belief structures that makes use of a weighted aggregation of the belief structures where the weights are related to the degree of dependence. It is shown that this aggregation is non-commutative, the fused value depends on the sequencing of the evidences. We then consider the problem of how best to sequence the evidence. We investiga...
متن کاملA new definition of entropy of belief functions in the Dempster-Shafer theory
We propose a new definition of entropy of basic probability assignments (BPA) in the Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory of belief functions, which is interpreted as a measure of total uncertainty in the BPA. Our definition is different from those proposed by Höhle, Smets, Yager, Nguyen, Dubois-Prade, Lamata-Moral, Klir-Ramer, Klir-Parviz, Pal et al., Maeda-Ichihashi, Abellán-Moral, Harmanec-Klir, Jous...
