The present state of development of Dempster-Shafer theory is surveyed and its place among theories of dealing with uncertainty in AI is discussed. No knowledge of the theory is assumed.

Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evidence theory is regarded as an effective method of dealing with the uncertainty information but still suffers from conflict problem among evidence. Despite that various techniques were presented in plenty publications, currently, there no convincing and firm conclusion about optimum solution. This study presents Belief Coulomb Force (BCF) into D-S theory, where Zhou et ...

In this note, we argue that the axiomatic requirement of range to the measure of aggregated total uncertainty (ATU) in Dempster-Shafer theory is not reasonable.

Abstract In Evidence theory, several conditioning rules for updating belief have been proposed, including Dempster’s rule of conditioning. The paper views the conditioning rules proposed so far and proposes a new rule of conditioning based on three requirements. Then, it generalizes the rule to be applied to the case where condition is given by an uncertain belief. The paper also discusses a fe...

Suhu merupakan tingkat derajat panas dan dingin yang erat kaitannya dengan kelembapan udara. Perbedaan suhu sangat ekstrim biasanya menyebabkan tekanan pada tubuh menjadi tidak stabil. Tubuh terkadang menghasilkan berlebih maupun kehilangan cepat. Tekanan disebabkan dari kondisi lingkungan terlalu atau dingin, dipengaruhi oleh temperature suatu tempat waktu, apabila udara tinggi maka partikel a...

As an important tool of information fusion, Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is widely applied in handling the uncertain information in fault diagnosis. However, an incorrect result may be obtained if the combined evidence is highly conflicting, which may leads to failure in locating the fault. To deal with the problem, an improved evidential-Induced Ordered Weighted Averaging (IOWA) sensor data...

Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory is formulated in terms of propositional logic, using the implicit notion of provability underlying DS theory. Dempster-Shafer theory can be modeled in terms of propositional logic by the tuple (~, p), where S is a set of propositional clauses and p is an assignment of mass to each clause Ei c ~. It is shown that the disjunction of minimal support clauses for a clause...
