Decision Making with Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence Using Geometric Operators

چکیده
We study the problem of decision making with Dempster-Shafer belief structure. We analyze the previous work developed by Yager about using the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator in the aggregation of the Dempster-Shafer decision process. We discuss the possibility of aggregating with an ascending order in the OWA operator for the cases where the smallest value is the best result. We suggest the introduction of the ordered weighted geometric (OWG) operator in the Dempster-Shafer framework. In this case, we also discuss the possibility of aggregating with an ascending order and we find that it is completely necessary as the OWG operator cannot aggregate negative numbers. Finally, we give an illustrative example where we can see the different results obtained by using the OWA, the Ascending OWA (AOWA), the OWG and the Ascending OWG (AOWG) operator. Keywords—Decision making, aggregation operators, DempsterShafer theory of evidence, Uncertainty, OWA operator, OWG operator.

Induced aggregation operators in decision making with the Dempster-Shafer belief structure
In this study, we analyze the induced aggregation operators. The analysis begins with a revision of some basic concepts such as the induced ordered weighted averaging operator and the induced ordered weighted geometric operator. We then analyze the problem of decision making with Dempster-Shafer (D-S) theory of evidence. We suggest the use of induced aggregation operators in decision making wit...
متن کاملA Sensor-Based Scheme for Activity Recognition in Smart Homes using Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence
This paper proposes a scheme for activity recognition in sensor based smart homes using Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. In this work, opinion owners and their belief masses are constructed from sensors and employed in a single-layered inference architecture. The belief masses are calculated using beta probability distribution function. The frames of opinion owners are derived automatically ...

We study different approaches for decision making with linguistic information. We describe some basic linguistic aggregation operators. We then analyze the problem of linguistic decision making with Dempster-Shafer (D-S) belief structure. We suggest the use of different types of linguistic aggregation operators in the D-S framework such as the linguistic ordered weighted averaging (LOWA) operat...

We develop a new approach for decision making with Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence by using uncertain information represented in the form of interval numbers. We suggest the use of different types of uncertain aggregation operators in the problem. Then, we obtain new aggregation operators such as the belief structure uncertain ordered weighted averaging (BSUOWA) operator and the BS uncertain...
متن کاملLinguistic Aggregation Operators for Linguistic Decision Making Based on the Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence
In this paper, we develop a new approach for decision making with Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence by using linguistic information. We suggest the use of different types of linguistic aggregation operators in the model. We then obtain as a result, the belief structure — linguistic ordered weighted averaging (BS-LOWA), the BS — linguistic hybrid averaging (BS-LHA) and a wide range of particula...
