Inclusion-exclusion principle for belief functions
The inclusion-exclusion principle is a well-known property of set cardinality and probability measures, that is instrumental to solve some problems such as the evaluation of systems reliability or of uncertainty over Boolean formulas. However, when using sets and probabilities conjointly, this principle no longer holds in general. It is therefore useful to know in which cases it is still valid....
متن کاملMatrix Calculus for Belief Functions
The mathematic of belief functions can be handled by the use of the matrix notation. This representation helps greatly the user thanks to its notational simplicity and its efficiency for proving theorems. We show how to use them for several problems related to belief functions and the transferable belief model.
متن کاملIndependence Concepts for Belief Functions
In this paper, we try to study the independence concept for belief functions theory, as applied to one interpretation of this theory called the transferable belief model (TBM). In this context, two new results are given in this paper : first, the concept of belief function independence has different intuitive meaning which are non-interactivity, irrelevance and doxastic independence, second, th...
متن کاملBelief Functions and the Transferable Belief Model
Belief functions have been proposed for modeling someone’s degrees of belief. They provide alternatives to the models based on probability functions or on possibility functions. There are several interpretations of belief functions: the lower probabilities model, Dempster’s model, the hint model, the probability of modal propositions model, the transferable belief model. All these models are un...
متن کاملDempster-Belief Functions Are Based on the Principle of Complete Ignorance
This paper shows that a "principle of complete ignorance" plays a central role in decisions based on Dempster belief functions. Such belief functions occur when, in a first stage, a random message is received and then, in a second stage, a true state of nature obtains. The uncertainty about the random message in the first stage is assumed to be probabilized, in agreement with the Bayesian princ...
