Probability of Provability and Belief Functions
We present an interpretation of Dempster-Shafer theory based on the probability of provability. We present two forms of revision (conditioning) that lead to the geometrical rule of conditioning and to Dempster rule of conditioning, respectively.
متن کاملProbability Generating Functions for Sattolo’s Algorithm
In 1986 S. Sattolo introduced a simple algorithm for uniform random generation of cyclic permutations on a fixed number of symbols. Recently, H. Prodinger analysed two important random variables associated with the algorithm, and found their mean and variance. H. Mahmoud extended Prodinger’s analysis by finding limit laws for the same two random variables.The present article, starting from the ...
متن کاملExtension of belief functions to infinite-valued events
We generalise belief functions to many-valued events which are represented by elements of Lindenbaum algebra of infinite-valued Łukasiewicz propositional logic. Our approach is based on mass assignments used in the Dempster–Shafer theory of evidence. A generalised belief function is totally monotone and it has Choquet integral representation with respect to a unique belief measure on Boolean ev...

متن کاملBelief functions induced by multimodal probability density functions, an application to the search and rescue problem
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new method to generate a continuous belief functions from a multimodal probability distribution function defined over a continuous domain. We generalize Smets’ approach in the sense that focal elements of the resulting continuous belief function can be disjoint sets of the extended real space of dimension n. We then derive the continuous belief function fro...
