Combination of interval-valued belief structures based on belief entropy
This paper investigates the issues of combination and normalization of interval-valued belief structures within the framework of Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. Existing approaches are reviewed and thoroughly analyzed. The advantages and drawbacks of previous approach are presented. A new optimality approach based on uncertainty measure is developed, where the problem of combining interval-valued belief structures degenerates into combining basic probability assignments. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the rationality of the proposed approach.

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 cas…
parameter estimationAn Interval-Valued Utility Theory for Decision Making with Dempster-Shafer Belief Functions
The main goal of this paper is to describe an axiomatic utility theory for Dempster-Shafer belief function lotteries. The axiomatic framework used is analogous to von Neumann-Morgenstern's utility theory for probabilisti…
Decision MakingA note on belief structures and S-approximation spaces
We study relations between evidence theory and S-approximation spaces. Both theories have their roots in the analysis of Dempster's multivalued mappings and lower and upper probabilities and have close relations to rough…
Propagation of~Interval Belief Structures and~Imprecise Copulas for~Neural Network Verification
Quantitative verification of neural networks requires reasoning about probabilities under substantial uncertainty in both input distributions and their dependence structure. In realistic settings, this information is oft…
Information Fusion on Belief Networks
This paper will focus on the process of 'fusing' several observations or models of uncertainty into a single resultant model. Many existing approaches to fusion use subjective quantities such as 'strengths of belief' and…
