The paper introduces and discusses a family of conjunctive information aggregation operators within the framework of evidence theory based on the use of copulas and t-norms. Such operators allow modeling the dependence of information sources and aggregating many sources. It is shown that the introduced operators will satisfy to a certain extent the general requirements (desirable properties) imposed on the rules of combination ...

The Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence considers data that have a frequency-set nature (the so-called body of evidence). In recent years, there has been interest in clustering such objects to approximate them with simpler bodies of evidence, to analyze the inconsistency of information, reducing the computational complexity of processing algorithms, revealing the structure of the set ...

The article is devoted to solving the problem of choosing sources of prognostic expert information for aggregation and aggregation itself in the framework of evidence theory. A procedure for optimal "blurring" of point values and construction of evidence bodies based on the SVR regression method is proposed. A procedure for choosing predictions (bodies of evidence) ...

Decompositional approach for evaluation of internal conflict in the framework of the evidence theory
Lepskiy A., Нечеткие системы и мягкие вычисления 2020 Vol. 15 No. 1 P. 43–63
The concept of conflict is one of the central in the belief functions theory. There are differences between external and internal conflicts. A new method for estimating the internal conflict is proposed and studied in this paper. This method assumes that the original body of evidence was derived from simpler evidence using some combining rule. ...

In real applications, sometimes it is necessary to evaluate inner or external conflict of pieces of evidence. However, these numerical values cannot give us explanations why this conflict occurs. Thus, we need deeper analysis of available information. In the paper, we propose the clusterization of a given evidence on pieces of evidence in a way ...

The conflict measures induced by the conjunctive and disjunctive combining rules are studied in this paper in the framework of evidence theory. The coherence of conflict measures with combining rules is introduced and studied. In addition, the structure of conjunctive and disjunctive conflict measures is studied in the paper. In particular, it is shown that ...

This paper is devoted to modern approaches to the estimation of external conflict in the theory of evidence based on axioms. The conflict measure is defined on the set of beliefs obtained from several sources of information. It is shown that the conflict measure should be a monotone set function with respect to sets of ...

There is one of the investment strategies on a stock market called a choice of securities including
its buying and sale based on financial analysts’ recommendations. The distinguishing characteristic of
these recommendations is that in each of it for the same securities there can be different recommendations
(«Buy», «Sell», «Hold») as well as for one type of recommendations ...

The paper is devoted to the investigation of imprecision indices. They are used for evaluating imprecision (or non-specificity) contained in information described by monotone (non-additive) measures. These indices can be considered as generalizations of the generalized Hartley measure. We argue that in some cases, for example in approximation problems, the application of imprecision indices is ...

Some general schemes and examples of aggregation of two belief functions into a single belief function are considered in this paper. We find some sufficient conditions of change of ignorance when evidences are combined with the help of various rules. It is shown that combining rules can be regarded as pessimistic or optimistic depending on ...

The index of decreasing of ignorance after applying of combination rules is introduced and studied in the work within the frame of Dempster-Shafer theory. This index is analysed for some special sets (bodies) of evidence. It is shown that a strong correlation between bodies of evidence is a sufficient condition to decrease of ignorance after applying of combination rules. In ...

В работе в рамках теории свидетельств вводится и исследуется функционал уменьшения незнания после комбинирования тел свидетельств (индекс уменьшения незнания), полученных из разных источников информации. Кроме этого, в работе аксиоматически вводится мера конфликта свидетельств. Введенные мера конфликта и индекс уменьшения незнания исследуются на специальных типах тел свидетельств. Для таких тел, в частности найдены условия, гарантирующие уменьшение незнания после применения тех ...
