Algebraic Structures Related to Dempster-Shafer Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
There are described some algebraic structures on a space of belief functions on a two element frame namely so called Dempster s semigroup with Dempster s operation dempsteroids and their basic properties The present paper is devoted to the investi gation of automorphisms of Dempster s semigroup Full characterization of general and ordered automorphisms is obtained their parametric description is stated both in intu itive and explicit forms There is also full characterization of ordered endomorphisms and other related results

A NEW FUZZY MORPHOLOGY APPROACH BASED ON THE FUZZY-VALUED GENERALIZED DEMPSTER-SHAFER THEORY
In this paper, a new Fuzzy Morphology (FM) based on the GeneralizedDempster-Shafer Theory (GDST) is proposed. At first, in order to clarify the similarity ofdefinitions between Mathematical Morphology (MM) and Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST),dilation and erosion morphological operations are studied from a different viewpoint. Then,based on this similarity, a FM based on the GDST is proposed. Unlik...
متن کاملSemigroup structure of singleton Dempster-Shafer evidence accumulation
Dempster-Shafer theory is one of the main tools for reasoning about data obtained from multiple sources, subject to uncertain information. In this work abstract algebraic properties of the Dempster-Shafer set of mass assignments are investigated and compared with the properties of the Bayes set of probabilities. The Bayes set is a special case of the Dempster-Shafer set, where all non-singleton...
متن کاملA Study on Properties of Dempster-Shafer Theory to Probability Theory transformations
In this paper, five conditions that have been proposed by Cobb and Shenoy are studied for nine different mappings from the Dempster-Shafer theory to the probability theory. After comparing these mappings, one of the considerable results indicates that none of the mappings satisfies the condition of invariance with respect to the marginalization process. In more details, the main reason for this...
متن کاملREGION MERGING STRATEGY FOR BRAIN MRI SEGMENTATION USING DEMPSTER-SHAFER THEORY
Detection of brain tissues using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an active and challenging research area in computational neuroscience. Brain MRI artifacts lead to an uncertainty in pixel values. Therefore, brain MRI segmentation is a complicated concern which is tackled by a novel data fusion approach. The proposed algorithm has two main steps. In the first step the brain MRI is divided to...

Abstract Dempster Shafer theory is the most important method of reviewing uncertainty for information system. This theory as introduced by Dempster using the concept of upper and lower probabilities extended later by Shafer. Another important application of entropy as a basic concept in the information theory can be used as a uncertainty measurement of the system in specific situation In th...
