Parameter estimation based on interval-valued belief structures

Parameter estimation based on uncertain data represented as belief structures is one of the latest problems in the Dempster–Shafer theory. In this paper, a novel method is proposed for the parameter estimation in the case where belief structures are uncertain and represented as interval-valued belief structures. Within our proposed method, the maximization of likelihood criterion and minimization of estimated parameter’s uncertainty are taken into consideration simultaneously. As an illustration, the proposed method is employed to estimate parameters for deterministic and uncertain belief structures, which demonstrates its effectiveness and versatility.

Classifier fusion in the Dempster-Shafer framework using optimized t-norm based combination rules

When combining classifiers in the Dempster-Shafer framework, Dempster’s rule is generally used. However, this rule assumes the classifiers to be independent. This paper investigates the use of other operators for combining non independent classifiers, including the cautious rule and, more generally, t-norm based rules with behavior ranging between Dempster’s rule and the cautious rule. Two strategies are investigated for learning an optimal combination scheme, based on a parameterized family of t-norms. The first one learns a single rule by minimizing an error criterion. The second strategy is a two-step procedure, in which groups of classifiers with similar outputs are first identified using a clustering algorithm. Then, within- and between-cluster rules are determined by minimizing an error criterion. Experiments with various synthetic and real data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of both the single rule and two-step strategies. Overall, optimizing a single t-norm based rule yields better results than using a fixed rule, including Dempster’s rule, and the two-step strategy brings further improvements.
