A New Similarity Measure for Combining Conflicting Evidences

چکیده
In Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory, multiple information from the distinct information sources are combined to obtain a single Basic Probability Assignment (BPA) function. The well-known combination rule of Dempster-Shafer (DS) provides the weaker solution to the management of conflicting information at the normalization stage. Even this rule fails and provide the counter intuitive results while combining the highly conflicting information. This paper presents a new similarity measure for the combined average methods, where any distance measure between the body of information can be used. The numerical examples provide the promising and better intuitive results.

A Clustering-Based Evidence Reasoning Method
Aiming at the counterintuitive phenomena of the Dempster–Shafer method in combining the highly conflictive evidences, a combination method of evidences based on the clustering analysis is proposed in this paper. At first, the cause of conflicts is disclosed from the point of view of the internal and external contradiction. And then, a new similarity measure based on it is proposed by comprehens...
متن کاملEvidence Combination and Reasoning and Its Application to Real-World Problem-Solving
In this paper a new mathematical procedure is presented for combining different pieces of evidence which are represented in the interval form to reflect our knowledge about the truth of a hypothesis. Evidences may be correlated to each other (dependent evidences) or conflicting in supports (conflicting evidences). First, assuming independent evidences, we propose a methodology to construct comb...

Clustering is one of the main techniques in data mining. Clustering is a process that classifies data set into groups. In clustering, the data in a cluster are the closest to each other and the data in two different clusters have the most difference. Clustering algorithms are divided into two categories according to the type of data: Clustering algorithms for numerical data and clustering algor...
متن کاملA new vector valued similarity measure for intuitionistic fuzzy sets based on OWA operators
Plenty of researches have been carried out, focusing on the measures of distance, similarity, and correlation between intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs).However, most of them are single-valued measures and lack of potential for efficiency validation.In this paper, a new vector valued similarity measure for IFSs is proposed based on OWA operators.The vector is defined as a two-tuple consisting of ...
متن کاملA new similarity measure between type-2 fuzzy numbers and fuzzy risk analysis
In this paper, we present a revised similarity measure based onChen-and-Chen's similarity measure for fuzzy risk analysis. The revisedsimilarity measure uses the corrected formulae to calculate the centre ofgravity points, therefore it is more effective than the Chen-and-Chen'smethod. The revised similarity measure can overcome the drawbacks of theexisting methods. We have also proposed a new ...
