چکیده
Smets, P. and R. Kennes, The transferable belief model, Artificial Intelligence 66 (1994) 191–234. We describe the transferable belief model, a model for representing quantified beliefs based on belief functions. Beliefs can be held at two levels: (1) a credal level where beliefs are entertained and quantified by belief functions, (2) a pignistic level where beliefs can be used to make decisions and are quantified by probability functions. The relation between the belief function and the probability function when decisions must be made is derived and justified. Four paradigms are analyzed in order to compare Bayesian, upper and lower probability, and the transferable belief approaches.

belief function and the transferable belief model
Beliefs are the result of uncertainty. Sometimes uncertainty is because of a random process and sometimes the result of lack of information. In the past, the only solution in situations of uncertainty has been the probability theory. But the past few decades, various theories of other variables and systems are put forward for the systems with no adequate and accurate information. One of these a...
متن کاملTarget Identification Based on the Transferable Belief Model Interpretation of Dempster-Shafer Model. Pars II: Applications
This paper explains how multisensor data fusion and target identification can be performed within the transferable belief model, a model for the representation of quantified uncertainty based on belief functions. In the first part, we present the underlying theory. Here, we present some illustrative examples to clarify how we consider the transferable belief model should be used. Some simulatio...
