Generalizing Information to the Evolution of Rational Belief

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Information theory provides a mathematical foundation to measure uncertainty in belief. Belief is represented by a probability distribution that captures our understanding of an outcome’s plausibility.

Belief-Logic Conflict Resolution in Syllogistic Reasoning: Inspection-Time Evidence for a Parallel-Process Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
An experiment is reported examining dual-process models of belief bias in syllogistic reasoning using a problem complexity manipulation and an inspection-time method to monitor processing latencies for premises and conclusions.

An Extension to Deng’s Entropy in the Open World Assumption with an Application in Sensor Data Fusion

open access: yesSensors, 2018
Quantification of uncertain degree in the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory (DST) framework with belief entropy is still an open issue, even a blank field for the open world assumption.

Multisensor Data Fusion in IoT Environments in Dempster–Shafer Theory Setting: An Improved Evidence Distance-Based Approach

open access: yesSensors, 2023
In IoT environments, voluminous amounts of data are produced every single second. Due to multiple factors, these data are prone to various imperfections, they could be uncertain, conflicting, or even incorrect leading to wrong decisions. Multisensor data

Entropy and Belief Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The product expansion of conditional probabilities for belief nets is not maximum entropy. This appears to deny a desirable kind of assurance for the model. However, a kind of guarantee that is almost as strong as maximum entropy can be derived. Surprisingly, a variant model also exhibits the guarantee, and for many cases obtains a higher performance ...

An Improved Total Uncertainty Measure in the Evidence Theory and Its Application in Decision Making

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Dempster–Shafer evidence theory (DS theory) has some superiorities in uncertain information processing for a large variety of applications. However, the problem of how to quantify the uncertainty of basic probability assignment (BPA) in DS theory ...

An Improved Deng Entropy and Its Application in Pattern Recognition

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
How to manage the uncertainty of the basic probability assignment accurately and efficiently is of significance and also an open issue. Plenty of functions have been established to cover the issue, especially Deng entropy recently.

Formal Analysis of Information Flow Using Min-Entropy and Belief Min-Entropy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Information flow analysis plays a vital role in obtaining quantitative bounds on information leakage due to external attacks. Traditionally, information flow analysis is done using paper-and-pencil based proofs or computer simulations based on the Shannon entropy and mutual information.

A Variation of the Algorithm to Achieve the Maximum Entropy for Belief Functions

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Evidence theory (TE), based on imprecise probabilities, is often more appropriate than the classical theory of probability (PT) to apply in situations with inaccurate or incomplete information. The quantification of the information that a piece of evidence involves is a key issue in TE.
