Belief Evolution Network-based Probability Transformation and Fusion

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

Smets proposes the Pignistic Probability Transformation (PPT) as the decision layer in the Transferable Belief Model (TBM), which argues when there is no more information, we have to make a decision using a Probability Mass Function (PMF). In this paper, the Belief Evolution Network (BEN) and the full causality function are proposed by introducing causality in Hierarchical Hypothesis Space (HHS). Based on BEN, we interpret the PPT from an information fusion view and propose a new Probability Transformation (PT) method called Full Causality Probability Transformation (FCPT), which has better performance under Bi-Criteria evaluation. Besides, we heuristically propose a new probability fusion method based on FCPT. Compared with Dempster Rule of Combination (DRC), the proposed method has more reasonable result when fusing same evidence.
