We present a Dempster–Shafer (DS) approach to estimating limits from Poisson counting data with nuisance parameters. Dempster– Shafer is a statistical framework that generalizes Bayesian statistics. DS calculus augments traditional probability by allowing mass to be distributed over power sets of the event space. This eliminates the Bayesian dependence on prior distributions while allowing the ...

Traditional Dempster Shafer belief theory does not provide a simple method for judging the effect of statistical and probabilistic data on belief functions and vice versa. This puts belief theory in isolation from probability theory and hinders fertile cross-disciplinary developments, both from a theoretic and an application point of view. It can be shown that a bijective mapping exists between...

The importance of the Dempster-Shafer theory (DST) for modeling and propagating uncertainty has grown in the recent past. An obstacle for wider application of this theory in industrial practice is the lack of software support for analysts. The few tools available depend on floating point arithmetic and do not consider the inherently interval-based nature of the DST to the full extent. Therefore...

Abs t rac t . In this paper, a new approach for retrieval from semistructured photographic collections is described. We have developed a retrieval model based on the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence combination. Basic concepts of the Dempster-Shafer theory are explained and the suitability of this theory for information retrieval is explored. A retrieval model for a semi-structured photograph...

An evidential reasoning mechanism based on the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence is introduced. Its performance in real-world image analysis is compared with other mechanisms based on the Bayesian formalism and a simple weight combination method.

This paper suggests a new interpretation of the Dempster-Shafer theory in terms of probabilistic interpretation of plausibility. A new rule of combination of independent evidence is shown and its preservation of interpretation is demonstrated.

This paper is concerned with the combination of argumentation with the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. In particular, we show how logical elements of evidence, associated with numerical degrees of belief, can be combined into arguments.

One of the problems usually discussed in autonomous mobile robot navigation is how to build a map of the environment where the robot is navigating. In the case of indoor navigation, a suitable method to do this mapping is the fusion of the data that are gathered from the several sensors, which are mounted on the robot. Here, a mobile robot equipped just with range finding sensors has been suppo...

The framework for decision value oriented decomposition of data tables is stated with examples of its applications to partially generalized reasoning. Operation of synthesis of information is introduced for distributed decision tables. Theoretical foundations are built on the basis of the main factors of quality of reasoning, by referring to rough set, Dempster-Shafer and statistical theories.
