In this paper, we prove that any dichotomous basic belief assignment (BBA) can be expressed as the combination of two simple belief assignments and called, respectively, the pros and cons BBAs thanks to the proportional conflict redistribution rule no 5 (PCR5). This decomposition always exists and is unique and we call it the canonical decomposition of the BBA . We also show that canonical...
In this paper, we propose a modification of PCR5 and PCR6 fusion rules with degrees of intersections for taking into account the cardinality of focal elements of each source of evidence to combine. We show in very simple examples the interest of these new fusion rules w.r.t. classical Dempster-Shafer, PCR6, Zhang's and Jaccard's Center rules of combination.
Since the development of belief function theory introduced by Shafer in seventies, many combination rules have been proposed in the literature to combine belief functions specially (but not only) in high conflicting situations because the emblematic Dempster's rule generates counter-intuitive and unacceptable results in practical applications. Many attempts have been done during last thirty years...
In most of classical fusion problems modeled from belief functions, the frame of discernment is considered as static. This means that the set of elements in the frame and the underlying integrity constraints of the frame are fixed forever and they do not change with time. In some applications, like in target tracking for example, the use of such invariant frame is not very appropriate because it can...
