Constructing Rule-Based Models Using the Belief Functions Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a new approach to regression analysis. We propose a new rule-based regression model using the theoretical framework of belief functions. For this purpose we use the recently proposed Evidential c-means (ECM) to derive rule-based models solely from data. ECM allocates, for each object, a mass of belief to any subsets of possible clusters, which allows to gain a deeper insight on the data while being robust with respect to outliers. The proposed rule-based models convey this added information as the examples illustrate.

Compositional Models in Valuation-Based Systems
Compositional models were initially described for discrete probability theory, and later extended for possibility theory and for belief functions in Dempster-Shafer (D-S) theory of evidence. Valuation-based system (VBS) is an unifying theoretical framework generalizing some of the well known and frequently used uncertainty calculi. This generalization enables us to not only highlight the most i...
متن کاملProcess Improvement of Experimental Measurements Using D-optimal Models
In this paper, the application of D-optimal models, as an alternative to response surface models (RS models) for design of experiment (DOE) was examined. Two D-optimal models for tilt-rotors in the wind tunnel experiment, as a form of quadratic functions, were generated based on a chosen optimality criterion. This optimality criterion was used to generate the optimized sampled points in the des...
متن کاملFramework for biometric match score fusion using statistical and belief models
This chapter presents a framework for multi-biometric match score fusion when non-ideal conditions cause conflict in the results of different unimodal biometrics classifiers. The proposed framework uses belief function theory to effectively fuse the match scores and density estimation technique to compute the belief assignments. Fusion is performed using belief models such as Transferable Belie...
متن کاملBelief Function Models for Simple Series and Parallel Systems
Belief functions are a versatile class of mathematical models which include as cases both first order logic and probability statements. Although belief function models have a higher computational cost than probabilistic models, recent progress with graphical belief function models has made complex belief function models computationally feasible. This is especially true in models which have a na...
متن کاملTS-Models from Evidential Clustering
We study how to derive a fuzzy rule-based classification model using the theoretical framework of belief functions. For this purpose we use the recently proposed Evidential c-means (ECM) to derive Takagi-Sugeno (TS) models solely from data. ECM allocates, for each object, a mass of belief to any subsets of possible clusters, which allows to gain a deeper insight in the data while being robust w...
