A Conflicting Evidence Fusion Method Based on Game Theory Combination Weighting
Ziye Wang, Jianyu Xiao · 2024
This essay introduces a new approach to address the challenges of applying Dempster-Shafer evidence theory to tackling high-conflict evidence. We first employed Jousselme’s distance and compatibility coefficients to measure confidence and support, then converted these values into vectors. Next, we applied game theory to convert the vectors into a system of linear equations,from which we obtained a corresponding combination of weight coefficients that we used to modify the initial evidence. Finally, we applied the Dempster-Shafer combination rule to achieve evidence fusion. A case analysis shows that our proposed method provides more sensible fusion results for high-conflict evidence.
