On Conjunctive and Disjunctive Combination Rules of Evidence
Hongyan Sun, Mohamad Farooq · viXra · 2016
In this chapter, the Dempster-Shafer (DS) combination rule is examined based on the multi-valued mapping (MVM) and the product combination rule of multiple independent sources of information. The shortcomings in DS rule are correctly interpreted via the product combination rule of MVM. Based on these results, a new justification of the disjunctive rule is proposed.
