Belief functions on lattices
We extend the notion of belief function to the case where the underlying structure is no more the Boolean lattice of subsets of some universal set, but any lattice, which we will endow with a minimal set of properties according to our needs. We show that all classical constructions and definitions (e.g., mass allocation, commonality function, plausibility functions, necessity measures with nest...
متن کاملBelief Functions on Distributive Lattices
The Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions is an important approach to deal with uncertainty in AI. In the theory, belief functions are defined on Boolean algebras of events. In many applications of belief functions in real world problems, however, the objects that we manipulate is no more a Boolean algebra but a distributive lattice. In this paper, we extend the Dempster-Shafer theory to t...
متن کاملOn consistent belief functions
In this paper we define the class of consistent belief functions as the counterparts of consistent knowledge bases in classical logic. We prove that such class can be defined univocally no matter our definition of proposition implied by a belief function. As consistency can be desirable in decision making, the problem of transforming an arbitrary belief function into a consistent one arise, and...
متن کاملOn Belief Functions
The present state of development of Dempster-Shafer theory is surveyed and its place among theories of dealing with uncertainty in AI is discussed. No knowledge of the theory is assumed.
متن کاملSupermodular Functions on Finite Lattices
The supermodular order on multivariate distributions has many applications in financial and actuarial mathematics. In the particular case of finite, discrete distributions, we generalize the order to distributions on finite lattices. In this setting, we focus on the generating cone of supermodular functions because the extreme rays of that cone (modulo the modular functions) can be used as test...
