Entropy and Specificity in a Mathematical Theory of Evidence
نویسنده
چکیده
We review Shafer’s theory of evidence. We then introduce the concepts of entropy and specificity in the framework of Shafer’s theory. These become complementary aspects in the indication of the quality of evidence.

Temporalized Dempster-Shafer Belief Structure in Discrimination Analysis
The analysis of Dempster-Shafer temporalized structure is performed for the construction of more precise decisions based on the expert knowledge valuations. The relation of information precision is defined on the bodies of evidence. Negative inaccuracy is defined as the stream of rational expert knowledge in DempsterShafer temporalized structure. The principle of negative inaccuracy is develope...
متن کاملENTROPY FOR DTMC SIS EPIDEMIC MODEL
In this paper at rst, a history of mathematical models is given.Next, some basic information about random variables, stochastic processesand Markov chains is introduced. As follows, the entropy for a discrete timeMarkov process is mentioned. After that, the entropy for SIS stochastic modelsis computed, and it is proved that an epidemic will be disappeared after a longtime.

متن کاملComparison of entropy generation minimization principle and entransy theory in optimal design of thermal systems
In this study, the relationship among the concepts of entropy generation rate, entransy theory, and generalized thermal resistance to the optimal design of thermal systems is discussed. The equations of entropy and entransy rates are compared and their implications for optimization of conductive heat transfer are analyzed. The theoretical analyses show that based on entropy generation minimizat...
متن کاملAmbiguity Theory and Asset Pricing: Empirical Evidence from Tehran Stock Exchange
Modern portfolio theory is based on the relationship between risk and return and in this paper, specific uncertainty conditions are introduced as ambiguity which affects the asset pricing. Also, the relationship between risk, ambiguity and return is examined. First, ambiguity is estimated by the means of three-variable and main component method, trading volume, ask-bid spread, error of earnings...
