Introducing Incomparability in Modeling Qualitative Belief Functions

چکیده
This paper investigates a new model for generating belief functions from qualitative preferences. Our approach consists in constructing appropriate quantitative information from incomplete preferences relations. It is able to combine preferences despite the presence of incompleteness and incomparability in their preference orderings. The originality of our model is to provide additional interpretation values to the existing methods based on strict preferences and indifferences only.

Modeling Qualitative Assessments under the Belief Function Framework
This paper investigates the problem of preference modeling under the belief function framework. In this work, we introduce a new model that is able to generate quantitative information from qualitative assessments. Therefore, we suggest to represent the decision maker preferences in different levels where the indifference, strict preference, weak preference and incompleteness relations are cons...
متن کاملQualitative Behavior Modeling of Information Processing Components
This paper presents qualitative behavior modeling of Information Processing Components(IPCs), which are domain-specific software components for modeling reusable functions in database management systems(DBMSs). After introducing a detailed formal syntax of IPCs, we propose their modular, qualitative behavior generation mechanism. The proposed mechanism is based on qualitative modeling and simul...
متن کاملA New Qualitative Rough-Set Approach to Modeling Belief Functions
The paper presents a novel view of the Dempster-Shafer belief function as a measure of diversity in relational data bases. The Dempster rule of evidence combination corresponds to the join operator of the relational database theory. This rough-set based interpretation is qualitative in nature and can represent a number of belief function operators.
متن کاملModeling Belief Change on Epistemic States
Belief revision always results in trusting new evidence, so it may admit an unreliable one and discard a more confident one. We therefore use belief change instead of belief revision to remedy this weakness. By introducing epistemic states, we take into account of the strength of evidence that influences the change of belief. In this paper, we present a set of postulates to characterize belief ...
متن کاملA New Nonlinear Specification of Structural Breaks for Money Demand in Iran
In a structural time series regression model, binary variables have been used to quantify qualitative or categorical quantitative events such as politic and economic structural breaks, regions, age groups and etc. The use of the binary dummy variables is not reasonable because the effect of an event decreases (increases) gradually over time not at once. The simple and basic idea in this paper i...
