Generalized belief function in complex evidence theory

Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, 2020
The complex-value-based generalized Dempster–Shafer evidence theory, also called complex evidence theory is a useful methodology to handle uncertainty problems of decision-making on the framework of complex plane.

Debt-Deflation: Theory and Evidence [PDF]

European Economic Review, 1994
Over the years 1989-92 many of the major industrialised countries have experienced protracted periods of below-trend growth, and some the longest recession since the 1930s. And the most severe recessions occurred in those countries which had experienced the largest increases in private debt burdens. Figure 5.1 illustrates this correlation for ten major

Complex Evidence Theory for Multisource Data Fusion

Chinese Journal of Information Fusion
Data fusion is a prevalent technique for assembling imperfect raw data coming from multiple sources to capture reliable and accurate information. Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is one of useful methodologies in the fusion of uncertain multisource ...

A consensus model for hesitant fuzzy linguistic group decision-making in the framework of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory

Knowledge-Based Systems, 2020
In group decision-making (GDM), a consensus building process (CRP) is necessary to improve the level of consensus within the group. This paper develops a new CRP model for GDM problems with hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (HFLTSs), which also ...

An improved failure mode and effects analysis method based on uncertainty measure in the evidence theory

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 2020
mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is an effective tool to assess the risk of a system or process under uncertain environment. However, how to handle the uncertainty in the subjective assessment is an open issue.

Evidence Against Emission Theories

American Journal of Physics, 1965
The Ritz theory of electromagnetism and optics is criticized in relation to the experimental evidence after the introduction of a simple and natural modification of the hypothesis concerning the velocity of radiation scattered by the electrons of a medium.

A new hesitant fuzzy linguistic approach for multiple attribute decision making based on Dempster-Shafer evidence theory

Applied Soft Computing, 2020
Hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (HFLTSs) are useful tool to represent qualitative information in multiple attribute decision making (MADM), and Dempster–Shafer evidence theory (DSET) has some advantages in denoting and fusing uncertain information ...

A new approach for generation of generalized basic probability assignment in the evidence theory

Pattern Analysis and Applications, 2020
The process of information fusion needs to deal with a large number of uncertain information with multi-source, heterogeneity, inaccuracy, unreliability, and incompleteness. In practical engineering applications, Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is widely

Placebos in chronic pain: evidence, theory, ethics, and use in clinical practice

British medical journal, 2020
Despite their ubiquitous presence, placebos and placebo effects retain an ambiguous and unsettling presence in biomedicine. Specifically focused on chronic pain, this review examines the effect of placebo treatment under three distinct frameworks: double
