A Study of Associative Evidential Reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evidential reasoning is cast as the problem of simplifying the evidence-hypothesis relation and constructing combination formulas that possess certain testable properties. Important classes of evidence as identifiers, annihilators, and idempotents and their roles in determining binary operations on intervals of reals are discussed. The appropriate way of constructing formulas for combining evidence and their limitations, for instance, in robustness, are presented.

Comprehensive Decision Modeling of Reverse Logistics System: A Multi-criteria Decision Making Model by using Hybrid Evidential Reasoning Approach and TOPSIS (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In the last two decades, product recovery systems have received increasing attention due to several reasons such as new governmental regulations and economic advantages. One of the most important activities of these systems is to assign returned products to suitable reverse manufacturing alternatives. Uncertainty of returned products in terms of quantity, quality, and time complicates the decis...
متن کاملModelling the Level of Adoption of Analytical Tools; An Implementation of Multi-Criteria Evidential Reasoning
In the future, competitive advantages will be given to organisations that can extract valuable information from massive data and make better decisions. In most cases, this data comes from multiple sources. Therefore, the challenge is to aggregate them into a common framework in order to make them meaningful and useful.This paper will first review the most important multi-criteria decision analy...
متن کاملEvidential Reasoning in Semantic Networks: A Formal Theory
This paper presents an evidential approach to knowledge representation and inference wherein the principle of maximum entropy is applied to deal with uncertainty and incompleteness. It focuses on a restricted representation language similar in expressive power to semantic network formalisms, and develops a formal theory of evidential inheritance within this language. The theory applies to a lim...
متن کاملClassification with Evidential Associative Rules
Mining database provides valuable information such as frequent patterns and especially associative rules. The associative rules have various applications and assets mainly data classification. The appearance of new and complex data support such as evidential databases has led to redefine new methods to extract pertinent rules. In this paper, we intend to propose a new approach for pertinent rul...
متن کاملDiscounting and Combination Operations in Evidential Reasoning
Evidential reasoning is now a leading topic in Artificial Intelligence. Evidence is repre sented by a variety of evidential functions. Evidential reasoning is carried out by cer tain kinds of fundamental operation on these functions. This paper discusses two of the basic operations on evidential functions, the discount operation and the well-known or thogonal sum operation. We show that the ...
