Belief functions contextual discounting and canonical decompositions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, the contextual discounting of a belief function, a classical discounting generalization, is extended and its particular link with the canonical disjunctive decomposition is highlighted. A general family of correction mechanisms allowing one to weaken the information provided by a source is then introduced, as well as the dual of this family allowing one to strengthen a belief function.

Corrigendum to "Belief functions contextual discounting and canonical decompositions" [International Journal of Approximate Reasoning 53 (2012) 146-158]
Proposition 4 and Theorem 1 of the article “Belief Functions Contextual Discounting and Canonical Decompositions” [International Journal of Approximate Reasoning 53 (2012) 146–158] provide an erroneous result. We give here the true result with a correct proof.
متن کاملRefined modeling of sensor reliability in the belief function framework using contextual discounting
In belief functions theory, the discounting operation allows to combine information provided by a source in the form of a belief function with meta-knowledge regarding the reliability of that source, resulting in a “weakened”, less informative belief function. In this article, an extension of the discounting operation is proposed, allowing to use more detailed information regarding the reliabil...
متن کاملContextual Discounting of Belief Functions
The Transferable Belief Model is a general framework for managing imprecise and uncertain information using belief functions. In this framework, the discounting operation allows to combine information provided by a source (in the form of a belief function) with metaknowledge regarding the reliability of that source, to compute a “weakened”, less informative belief function. In this article, an ...
متن کاملTruthfulness in Contextual Information Correction
Recently, a dual reinforcement process to contextual discounting was introduced. However, it lacked a clear interpretation. In this paper, we propose a new perspective on contextual discounting: it can be seen as successive corrections corresponding to simple contextual lies. Most interestingly, a similar interpretation is provided for the reinforcement process. Two new contextual correction me...
