Generalized basic probability assignments
نویسنده
چکیده
Dempster-Shafer theory allows to construct belief functions from (precise) basic probability assignments. The present paper extends this idea substantially. By considering sets of basic probability assignments, an appealing constructive approach to general interval probability (general imprecise probabilities) is achieved, which allows for a very flexible modelling of uncertain knowledge.

Class-wise multi-classifier combination based on Dempster-Shafer theory
Multi-classifier combination based on Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence has demonstrated it’s superior performance. In the approach based on Dempster-Shafer theory, the basic probability assignments for evidence are usually derived from classifiers’ global performance. However, our study discovered that while using classifiers’ global performance as basic probability assignments doesn’t necess...
متن کاملTransformation of basic probability assignments to probabilities based on a new entropy measure
Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is an efficient mathematical tool to deal with uncertain information. In that theory, basic probability assignment (BPA) is the basic element for the expression and inference of uncertainty. Decision-making based on BPA is still an open issue in Dempster-Shafer evidence theory. In this paper, a novel approach of transforming basic probability assignments to proba...

متن کاملMultiscale probability transformation of basic probability assignment
Decision making is still an open issue in the application of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory. A lot of works have been presented for it. In the transferable belief model (TBM), pignistic probabilities based on the basic probability assignments are used for decision making. In this paper, multiscale probability transformation of basic probability assignment based on the belief function and the p...
متن کاملProbability and Symmetry
The Principle of Indifference, which dictates that we ought to assign two outcomes equal probability in the absence of known reasons to do otherwise, is vulnerable to well-known objections. Nevertheless, the appeal of the principle, and of symmetry-based assignments of equal probability, persists. We show that, relative to a given class of symmetries satisfying certain properties, we are justif...
