Cause-analysis for conflicting evidences in the generalized power space
HU Li-fang · Control theory & applications · 2011
The classical Dempster-Shafer evidence theory can not handle highly conflicting evidence efficiently. This drawback greatly limits the application of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory to real systems. The earlier researches mainly focused on improving the Dempster rules of combination or revising the data model. Although Liu brought out the question of effectively expressing the conflicting evidences, there still exists the problem of effectively distinguishing the causes among conflicting evidences. We first put forward a new confliction-representation model; and then analyze and summarize the causes of conflicting evidences through numerical examples. These examples show the efficiency of the proposed confliction representation model.
