The Transferable Belief Model and Possibility Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We want to show the difference between the degrees of possibilities (or necessities) and the degrees of belief (or plausibility). The overall principle is that the degrees of possibilities and necessities are the extensions of the modal concept of possibility and necessity whereas degrees of belief and plausibility are related to a language at a metalevel. Two models are considered: the transferable belief model and the possibility theory.

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 کاملLa théorie des possibilités quantitatives épistémiques vue comme un modèle de croyances transférables très prudent. Quantified Epistemic Possibilty Theory seens as an Hyper Cautious Transferable Belief Model
We provide a semantic for the values given to possibility measures. It is based on the semantic of the transferable belief model, itself based on the same approach as used for subjective probabilities. Besides we explain how the conjunctive combination of two possibility measures corresponds to the hyper-cautious conjunctive combination of the belief functions induced by the possibility measures.
متن کاملBelief Functions and the Transferable Belief Model
Belief functions have been proposed for modeling someone’s degrees of belief. They provide alternatives to the models based on probability functions or on possibility functions. There are several interpretations of belief functions: the lower probabilities model, Dempster’s model, the hint model, the probability of modal propositions model, the transferable belief model. All these models are un...
متن کاملNon-Standard Probabilistic and Non Probabilistic Representations of Uncertainty
Survey of the mathematical models proposed to represent quantified beliefs, and their comparison. The models considered are separated into non standard probability and non probability models, according to the fact they are based on probability theory or not. The first group concerns the upper and lower probability models, the second the possibility theory and the transferable belief model.
متن کامل1136 Transferable Belief Model Basic Belief Assignment
This note is a very short presentation of the transferable belief model (TBM), a model for the representation of quantified beliefs based on belief functions. Details must be found in the recent literature. The TBM covers the same domain as the subjective probabilities except probability functions are replaced by belief functions which are much more general. The model is much more flexible than...
