Belief functions induced by multimodal probability density functions, an application to the search and rescue problem
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new method to generate a continuous belief functions from a multimodal probability distribution function defined over a continuous domain. We generalize Smets’ approach in the sense that focal elements of the resulting continuous belief function can be disjoint sets of the extended real space of dimension n. We then derive the continuous belief function fro...
متن کاملEstimation of Probability Density Functions for the Higgs search
This note presents some investigations of smoothing routines for the estimation of PDF, specifically the HBOOK SMOOTH, MLP-fit and a Gaussian Kernel estimator. It presents some tests on the over-training, or more generally the accuracy of the PDF. No technique is perfect, but the kernel estimator gives the best results in a series of tests, and it is recommended that it be tried for the Higgs s...
متن کاملProbability of Provability and Belief Functions
We present an interpretation of Dempster-Shafer theory based on the probability of provability. We present two forms of revision (conditioning) that lead to the geometrical rule of conditioning and to Dempster rule of conditioning, respectively.
متن کاملStationary probability density functions: An exact result
An exact expression is obtained for the probability density function (pdf) of any quantity measured in a general stationary process, in terms of conditional expectations of time derivatives of the signal. This expression indicates that the conditional expectations of both the time derivative squared and of the second time derivative influence the shape of the pdf, including its tails. A previou...
متن کاملForecasting using belief functions: An application to marketing econometrics
A method is proposed to quantify uncertainty on statistical forecasts using the formalism of belief functions. The approach is based on two steps. In the estimation step, a belief function on the parameter space is constructed from the normalized likelihood given the observed data. In the prediction step, the variable Y to be forecasted is written as a function of the parameter θ and an auxilia...
