Several rules have been emerged in order to overcome the abnormal behavior of Dempster's combination rule with counter-intuitive results. Existing rules to evidence combination modeling differ in the expressive power of the conflict management models. This motivates us to develop an alternative combination rule called Total Conflicting mass Redistribution (TCR). This redistribution is founded on weighting...
In order to have a normal behavior in combination of bodies of evidence, this paper proposes a new combination rule. This rule includes the cardinality of focal set elements in conjunctive operation and the conflict redistribution to all steps. Based on the focal set cardinalities, the conflict redistribution is assigned using factors. The weighted factors are computed from the original and the conjunctive...
The evidence theory and its propositional conflict redistribution variant rules are mathematical formalisms used to represent uncertain as well as ambiguous data. The evidence combination rules proposed in these formalisms do not satisfy the idempotence property. However, in a variety of applications, it is desirable that the evidence combination rules satisfy this property. In response to this challenge,...
The evidential reasoning theory is often used to process the decision information in decision support. The evidential reasoning is qualified in dealing with uncertain information. However, its combination rules always have some limitations in processing conflict information. In order to solve the conflict problem in the combination of multi-source information, this paper analyzed the conflict solutions...
Where users and agents, each with their own world model and expertise, work together it is essential to interpret both their beliefs correctly. It is therefore important to keep track of the differences of opinion that occur in such a way that it is understandable for both the agents as well as the user. This paper proposes a generic and flexible way or the user to interact with agents using a integrated...
Works have investigated the problem of the conflict redistribution in the fusion rules of evidence theories. As a consequence of these works, many new rules have been proposed. Now, there is not a clear theoretical criterion for a choice of a rule instead another. The present paper proposes a new theoretically grounded rule, based on a new concept of sensor independence. This new rule avoids the conflict...
