An Integrated Decision-Making Model for Transformer Condition Assessment Using Game Theory and Modified Evidence Combination Extended by D Numbers

open access: yesEnergies, 2016
The power transformer is one of the most critical and expensive components for the stable operation of the power system. Hence, how to obtain the health condition of transformer is of great importance for power utilities. Multi-attribute decision-making (

Multi‐Model Ensembles in Ecosystem Modeling: Challenges and Best Practices for Decision‐Making

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
As ecosystem models increasingly inform environmental policy, markets, and climate‐related investments, this article highlights a critical but often overlooked issue: combining multiple models does not automatically make predictions more reliable.

Non‐negative Gaussian estimation of variance components in random effects models

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract When used to estimate variance components (VCs), confidence intervals (CIs) can be truncated at zero, have a point estimate not in the quoted CI, be empty with positive probability, or be all‐inclusive. This is because they have conflicting dual roles, since they are considered to cover the parameter with a specified probability while also ...

Third-party library selection in IT projects under imperfect data using Dempster–Shafer theory

open access: yesРадіоелектронні і комп'ютерні системи
This study focuses on a method for selecting third-party libraries for IT projects, which involves systematizing evaluation criteria and applying Dempster–Shafer theory of evidence to model imperfect data.

A Novel Framework for Quantitative Evaluation of Resilience Performance of Sea Lanes of Communication

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sea lanes of communication (SLOC) are perceived as intricate systems comprising shipping routes, key straits, and canals, which are increasingly vulnerable to external disruptions. This study proposes a holistic framework for resilience assessment on the system by introducing an advanced framework incorporating fuzzy logic, a critic weight ...

An Evidential Aggregation Method of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets Based on Belief Entropy

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) are essential in the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) under uncertain environment. However, how to reasonably aggregate them with considering the uncertainty contained in the IFSs is still an open issue.

An Extended Intuitionistic Fuzzy Cognitive Map via Dempster-Shafer Theory

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Fuzzy cognitive map has gradually emerged as a powerful paradigm for uncertain knowledge representation and a simulation mechanism that is applicable in dealing with complex artificial reasoning problems.

Marginal stochastic choice

open access: yesTheoretical Economics, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 373-401, May 2026.
Models of stochastic choice typically use conditional choice probabilities given menus as the primitive for analysis, but in the field these are often hard to observe. We consider the case where an analyst has access to a marginal stochastic choice dataset containing the marginal distributions of available menus and of choices, but not to conditional ...

Fundamentos estatísticos da análise-diagnóstico de sistemas agrários: uma interpretação baseada na Teoria da Evidência de Dempster-Shafer

open access: yesDesenvolvimento em Questão, 2008
In this work it´s argued that the Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence permits a statistical foundation of the Analysis-Diagnosis of Agrarian Systems. From a discussion of the difficulties to make statistical inferences about behavior of complex systems ...

A New Belief Entropy Based on Deng Entropy

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
For Dempster−Shafer evidence theory, how to measure the uncertainty of basic probability assignment (BPA) is still an open question. Deng entropy is one of the methods for measuring the uncertainty of Dempster−Shafer evidence.
