A Study on Properties of Dempster-Shafer Theory to Probability Theory transformations
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
In this paper, five conditions that have been proposed by Cobb and Shenoy are studied for nine different mappings from the Dempster-Shafer theory to the probability theory. After comparing these mappings, one of the considerable results indicates that none of the mappings satisfies the condition of invariance with respect to the marginalization process. In more details, the main reason for this defect is that the classic projection process in DST loses some probabilistic information. Therefore, as regards this subject, a solution is presented for solving this problem for two mappings: the pignistic probability and the normalized plausibility transformation.

The Dempster-Shafer Theory
The initial work introducing Dempster-Shafer (D-S) theory is found in Dempster (1967) and Shafer (1976). Since its introduction the very name causes confusion, a more general term often used is belief functions (both used intermittently here). Nguyen (1978) points out, soon after its introduction, that the rudiments of D-S theory can be considered through distributions of random sets. More furt...
متن کاملQualitative Dempster - Shafer Theory
This paper introduces the idea of using the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence with qualitative values. Dempster-Shafer theory is a formalism for reasoning under uncertainty which may be viewed as a generalisation of probability theory with special advantages in its treatment of ambiguous data and the ignorance arising from it. Here we are interested in applying the theory when the numbers that...

This report summarizes methods to incorporate information (or lack of information) about inter-variable dependence into risk assessments that use Dempster-Shafer theory or probability bounds analysis to address epistemic and aleatory uncertainty. The report reviews techniques for simulating correlated variates for a given correlation measure and dependence model, computation of bounds on distri...

متن کاملAlgorithms for Dempster-Shafer Theory
The method of reasoning with uncertain information known as Dempster-Shafer theory arose from the reinterpretation and development of work of Arthur Dempster [Dempster, 67; 68] by Glenn Shafer in his book a mathematical theory of evidence [Shafer, 76], and further publications e.g., [Shafer, 81; 90]. More recent variants of Dempster-Shafer theory include the Transferable Belief Model see e.g., ...
