Forecasting Using Information and Entropy Based on Belief Functions

open access: yesComplexity, 2020
This paper introduces an entropy-based belief function to the forecasting problem. While the likelihood-based belief function needs to know the distribution of the objective function for the prediction, the entropy-based belief function does not. This is

A new probability transformation method based on a correlation coefficient of belief functions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Intelligent Systems, 2019
The Dempster‐Shafer evidence theory is widely used in many fields of information fusion because of its advantage in handling uncertain information. One of the key issues in this theory is how to make decision based on a basic probability assignment (BPA).

The Algebra of Multi-Agent Dynamic Belief Revision [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We refine our algebraic axiomatization in [8,9] of epistemic actions and epistemic update (notions defined in [5,6] using Kripke-style semantics), to incorporate a mechanism for dynamic belief revision in a multi-agent setting.

Belief and Surprise - A Belief-Function Formulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
We motivate and describe a theory of belief in this paper. This theory is developed with the following view of human belief in mind. Consider the belief that an event E will occur (or has occurred or is occurring). An agent either entertains this belief or does not entertain this belief (i.e., there is no "grade" in entertaining the belief).

The Impact of the Quality Assessment of Optimal Assignment for Data Association in a Multitarget Tracking Context

open access: yesCybernetics and Information Technologies, 2015
The main purpose of this paper is to apply and to test the performance of a new method, based on belief functions, proposed by Dezert et al. in order to evaluate the quality of the individual association pairings provided in the optimal data association ...

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.

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 ...

An elementary belief function logic

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Fuzzy logic based on Belief and Disbelief membership functions

open access: yesFuzzy Information and Engineering, 2017
Many theories are developed based on probability to deal with incomplete information. The fuzzy logic deals with belief rather than likelihood (probability). Zadeh first defined fuzzy set as a single membership function.

RPC-EAU: Radar Plot Classification Algorithm Based on Evidence Adaptive Updating

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Accurately classifying targets and clutter plots is crucial in radar data processing. It is beneficial for filtering out a large amount of clutters and improving the track initiation speed and tracking accuracy of real targets.
