Consonant approximations of belief functions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 1990
Based on a recently introduced definition of inclusion between random sets, a general notion of approximation of a belief function by some other set-function is introduced. Viewing a fuzzy set as a consonant random set, it is shown how to construct fuzzy sets that may act as approximations of belief functions. Two kinds of approximations are considered:

Loopy belief propagation and probabilistic image processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Estimation of hyperparameters by maximization of the marginal likelihood in probabilistic image processing is investigated by using the cluster variation method.

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.

Belief Entropy Tree and Random Forest: Learning from Data with Continuous Attributes and Evidential Labels

open access: yesEntropy, 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

open access: yesIEEE 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.

An Extended Base Belief Function in Dempster–Shafer Evidence Theory and Its Application in Conflict Data Fusion

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
The Dempster–Shafer evidence theory has been widely applied in the field of information fusion. However, when the collected evidence data are highly conflicting, the Dempster combination rule (DCR) fails to produce intuitive results most of the time.

Credal Transfer Learning With Multi-Estimation for Missing Data

open access: yesIEEE 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

open access: yesIEEE 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

open access: yesSensors, 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

open access: yesInformation, 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
