Subjective Evidential Reasoning
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a framework for combining and assessing subjective evidence from different sources. The approach is based on the DempsterShafer belief theory, but instead of using Dempster’s rule we introduce a new rule called the consensus operator that is based on statistical inference. We show how this framework can be applied to subjective evidential reasoning.

A Safety-Cost Based Design-Decision Support Framework Using Fuzzy Evidential Reasoning Approach
This paper illustrates a subjective safety-cost based design-decision support framework using fuzzy logic and evidential reasoning approaches. The framework is divided into three parts. The first one is for safety analysis and synthesis including fuzzy rule-based safety estimation using the fuzzy rule-based evidential reasoning (FRB-ER) approach, as well as the safety synthesis using the eviden...
متن کاملComprehensive Decision Modeling of Reverse Logistics System: A Multi-criteria Decision Making Model by using Hybrid Evidential Reasoning Approach and TOPSIS (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In the last two decades, product recovery systems have received increasing attention due to several reasons such as new governmental regulations and economic advantages. One of the most important activities of these systems is to assign returned products to suitable reverse manufacturing alternatives. Uncertainty of returned products in terms of quantity, quality, and time complicates the decis...
متن کاملSubjective logic and arguing with evidence
This paper introduces a Subjective Logic based argumentation framework primarily targeted at evidential reasoning. The framework explicitly caters for argument schemes, accrual of arguments, and burden of proof; these concepts appear in many types of argument, and are particularly useful in dialogues revolving around evidential reasoning. The concept of a sensor is also useful in this domain, a...
متن کاملAn Evidential Reasoning Approach for Multiple- Attribute Decision Making with Uncertainty
A new evidential reasoning based approach is proposed that may be used to deal with uncertain decision knowledge in multiple-attribute decision making (MADM) problems with both quantitative and qualitative attributes. This approach is based on an evaluation analysis model and the evidence combination rule of the Dempster-Shafer theory. It is akin to a preference modeling approach, comprising an...
متن کاملMultiple Attribute Design Evaluation of Large Engineering Products Using The Evidential Reasoning Approach
This paper reports the application of an evidential reasoning approach to design selection of retro-fit options for complex engineering products. The particular selection problem investigated in this paper is initially modelled by means of techno-economic analysis and may be viewed as a multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem with a hierarchical structure of attributes which may be me...
