Conditional Belief, Knowledge and Probability
A natural way to represent beliefs and the process of updating beliefs is presented by Bayesian probability theory, where belief of an agent a in P can be interpreted as a considering that P is more probable than not P. This paper attempts to get at the core logical notion underlying this. The paper presents a sound and complete neighbourhood logic for conditional belief and knowledge, and trac...
متن کاملGeometric conditional belief functions
In this paper we study the problem of conditioning a belief function b with respect to an event A by geometrically projecting such belief function onto the simplex associated with A in the simplex of all belief functions. Two different such simplices can be defined, as each belief function can be represented as the vector of its basic probability values or the vector of its belief values. We sh...
متن کاملEvidential Reasoning with Conditional Belief Functions
In the existing evidential networks with belief functions, the relations among the variables are always represented by joint belief functions on the product space of the involved variables. In this paper, we use conditional belief functions to represent such relations in the network and show some relations of these two kinds of representations. We also present a propagation algorithm for such n...
متن کاملUpdating with belief functions, ordinal conditional functions and possibility measures
This paper discusses how a measure of uncertainty representing a state of knowledge can be updated when a new information, which may be pervaded with uncertainty, becomes available. This problem is considered in various framework, namely : Shafer's evidence theory, Zadeh's possibility theory, Spohn's updating approach. In the two first cases, analogues of Jeffrey's rule of conditioning are intr...
متن کاملQuantifying knowledge with a new calculus for belief functions - a generalization of probability theory
We first show that there are practical situations in for instance forensic and gambling settings, in which applying classical probability theory, that is, based on the axioms of Kolmogorov, is problematic. We then introduce and discuss Shafer belief functions. Technically, Shafer belief functions generalize probability distributions. Philosophically, they pertain to individual or shared knowled...
