Belief functions on lattices [PDF]
International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 2008 We extend the notion of belief function to the case where the underlying structure is no more the Boolean lattice of subsets of some universal set, but any lattice, which we will endow with a minimal set of properties according to our needs. We show that

Hidden Conflicts of Belief Functions
International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2020 In this paper, hidden conflicts of belief functions are observed in the case where the sum of all multiples of the conflicting belief masses equals zero.

An elementary belief function logic [PDF]
Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics, 2023 Non-additive uncertainty theories, typically possibility theory, belief functions and imprecise probabilities share a common feature with modal logic: the duality properties between possibility and necessity measures, belief and plausibility functions as well as between upper and lower probabilities extend the duality between possibility and necessity ...

Entropy, 2022 As well-known machine learning methods, decision trees are widely applied in classification and recognition areas. In this paper, with the uncertainty of labels handled by belief functions, a new decision tree method based on belief entropy is proposed ...

Feature Selection for Interval-Valued Data Based on D-S Evidence Theory
IEEE Access, 2021 Feature selection is one basic and critical technology for data mining, especially in current “big data era”. Rough set theory (RST) is sensitive to noise in feature selection due to the strict condition of equivalence relation.

Credal Transfer Learning With Multi-Estimation for Missing Data
IEEE Access, 2020 Transfer learning (TL) has grown popular in recent years. It is effective to improve the classification accuracy in the target domain by using the training knowledge in the related domain (called source domain).

Pignistic Belief Transform: A New Method of Conflict Measurement
IEEE Access, 2020 To measure conflict between two basic probability assignment functions plays the key role of conflict management in Dempster-shafer evidence theory. In this paper, a new conflict measure is proposed.

A Reliability-Based Multisensor Data Fusion with Application in Target Classification
Sensors, 2020 The theory of belief functions has been extensively utilized in many practical applications involving decision making. One such application is the classification of target based on the pieces of information extracted from the individual attributes ...

A New Evaluation Methodology for Quality Goals Extended by D Number Theory and FAHP
Information, 2020 Evaluation of quality goals is an important issue in process management, which essentially is a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problem. The process of assessment inevitably involves uncertain information. The two crucial points in an MADM problem

Hierarchical Evidence and Belief Functions [PDF]
CoRR, 2013 Dempster/Shafer (D/S) theory has been advocated as a way of representing incompleteness of evidence in a system's knowledge base. Methods now exist for propagating beliefs through chains of inference. This paper discusses how rules with attached beliefs, a common representation for knowledge in automated reasoning systems, can be transformed into the ...
