چکیده

Recently, we proposed a new method called the plausibility transformation method to convert a belief function model to an equivalent probability model. In this paper, we compare the plausibility transformation method with the pignistic transformation method. The two transformation methods yield qualitatively different probability models. We argue that the plausibility transformation method is the correct method for translating a belief function model to an equivalent probability model that maintains belief function semantics.

Comparison of Effects of High-Fat, High-Protein and Low-Calorie Diets on Klotho Gene Expression and TGF-β Level in Serum and Liver of Old Male Wistar Rats

Background and Objectives: Different diets have important roles in human health and aging. In the current study, we aimed to characterize the Klotho, an anti-aging protein, gene expression and protein level in the serum and assess the protein levels of Transforming growth factor-β and Platelet-derived growth factor in old rats which treated with different diets (high-fat, high-protein, low calo...
