Transformation of basic probability assignments to probabilities based on a new entropy measure
Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is an efficient mathematical tool to deal with uncertain information. In that theory, basic probability assignment (BPA) is the basic element for the expression and inference of uncertainty. Decision-making based on BPA is still an open issue in Dempster-Shafer evidence theory. In this paper, a novel approach of transforming basic probability assignments to probabilities is proposed based on Deng entropy which is a new measure for the uncertainty of BPA. The principle of the proposed method is to minimize the difference of uncertainties involving in the given BPA and obtained probability distribution. Numerical examples are given to show the proposed approach.

Multiscale probability transformation of basic probability assignment
Decision making is still an open issue in the application of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory. A lot of works have been presented for it. In the transferable belief model (TBM), pignistic probabilities based on the basic …
Decision MakingBF-QC: Belief Functions on Quantum Circuits
Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) of belief function is a basic theory of artificial intelligence, which can represent the underlying knowledge more reasonably than Probability Theory (ProbT). Because of the computation compl…
Decision MakingCombination 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 analyze…
Empirical Characterization of Inference-Time Elicited Probability Transformations in Large Language Models
Large language models increasingly rely on inference-time procedures such as chain-of-thought reasoning, self-refinement, retrieval augmentation, and verifier-guided revision, yet the structure of elicited probability tr…
An elementary belief function logic
Non-additive uncertainty theories, typically possibility theory, belief functions and imprecise probabilities share a common feature with modal logic: the duality properties between possibility and necessity measures, be…
