However, in many decision situations, the precise belief structure is not always available. In this case, an interval-valued belief degree rather than a precise one may be provided. So, the probabilistic transformation of imprecise belief function/mass in the generalized power space including Dezert-Smarandache （DSm） model from scalar transformation to sub-unitary interval transformation and, more generally, to any set of sub-unitary interval transformation is provided. Different from the existing probabilistic transformation algorithms that redistribute an ignorance mass to the singletons involved in that ignorance pro- portionally with respect to the precise belief function or probability function of singleton, the new algorithm provides an optimization idea to transform any type of imprecise belief assignment which may be represented by the union of several sub-unitary （half-） open intervals, （half-） closed intervals and/or sets of points belonging to [0,1]. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the detailed implementation process of the new probabilistic transformation approach as well as its validity and wide applicability.展开更多

Actually the probabilistic transformations of belief mass assignments are very useful in modern multitarget multisensor tracking systems where one deals with soft decisions, especially when precise belief structures are not always available due to the existence of uncertainty in human being’s subjective judgments. Therefore, a new probabilistic transformation of interval-valued belief structure is put forward in the generalized power space, in order to build a subjective probability measure from any basic belief assignment defined on any model of the frame of discernment. Several examples are given to show how the new transformation works and we compare it to the main existing transformations proposed in the literature so far. Results are provided to illustrate the rationality and efficiency of this new proposed method making the decision problem simpler.展开更多

文摘Purpose-Influence diagrams(IDs)have been widely applied as a form of knowledge expression and a decision analysis tool in the management and engineering fields.Relationship measurements and expectation values are computed depending on probability distributions in traditional IDs,however,most information systems in the real world are nondeterministic,and data in information tables can be interval valued,multiple valued and even incomplete.Consequently,conventional numeric models of IDs are not suitable for information processing with respect to imprecise data whose boundaries are uncertain.The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approach-The grey system theory and rough sets have proved to be effective tools in the data processing of uncertain information systems,approximate knowledge acquisition and representation are also the objectives in intelligent reasoning and decision analysis.Hence,this study proposes a new mathematical model by combining grey rough sets with IDs,and approximate measurements are used instead of probability distribution,an implicational relationship is utilized instead of an indiscernible relationship,and all of the features of the proposed approach contribute to deal with uncertain problems.Findings-The focus of this paper is to provide a more comprehensive framework for approximate knowledge representation and intelligent decision analysis in uncertain information systems and an example of decision support in product management systems with the new approach is illustrated.Originality/value-Collaboration of IDs and grey rough sets is first proposed,which provides a new mathematical and graphical tool for approximate reasoning and intelligent decision analysis within interval-valued information systems.
