The Generalized Pignistic Transformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents in detail the generalized pignistic transformation (GPT) succinctly developed in the Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) framework as a tool for decision process. The GPT allows to provide a subjective probability measure from any generalized basic belief assignment given by any corpus of evidence. We mainly focus our presentation on the 3D case and provide the complete result obtained by the GPT and its validation drawn from the probability theory.

The transferable belief model and random sets
1) Quantified beliefs are point-valued, not interval-valued 2) Any connection with randomization or necessary additivity as encountered within probability theory has been explicitly eliminated. 3) A difference has been established between open and closed world assumptions (Smets 1988). The normalization after conditioning and combination is not performed in the open world context. 4) A two-leve...
متن کاملDecision making in the TBM: the necessity of the pignistic transformation
In the transferable belief model(TBM), pignistic probabilities are used for decision making. The nature of the pignistic transformation is justified by a linearity requirement. We justify the origin of this requirement showing it is not ad hoc but unavoidable provides one accepts expected utility theory.
متن کاملA Belief-Function Based Decision Support System
In this paper, we present a decision support system based on belief functions and the pignistic transformation. The system is an integration of an evidential system for belief function propagation and a valuation-based system for Bayesian decision analysis. The two subsystems are connected through the pignistic transformation. The system takes as inputs the user's "gut feelings" about a situati...
متن کاملPlato's Cave in the Dempster-Shafer land-the Link between Pignistic and Plausibility Transformations
In reasoning under uncertainty in AI, there are (at least) two useful and different ways of understanding beliefs: the first is as absolute belief or degree of belief in propositions and the second is as belief update or measure of change in belief. Pignistic and plausibility transformations are two wellknown probability transformations that map belief functions to probability functions in the ...
متن کاملOn the Orthogonal Projection of a Belief Function
In this paper we study a new probability associated with any given belief function b, i.e. the orthogonal projection π[b] of b onto the probability simplex P. We provide an interpretation of π[b] in terms of a redistribution process in which the mass of each focal element is equally distributed among its subsets, establishing an interesting analogy with the pignistic transformation. We prove th...
