Modeling partially reliable information sources: A general approach based on Dempster-Shafer theory
Information Fusion 7:361-379 (2006)
| Abstract | Combining testimonial reports from independent and partially reliable information sources is an important problem of uncertain reasoning. Within the framework of Dempster-Shafer theory, we propose a general model of partially reliable sources which includes several previously known results as special cases. The paper reproduces these results, gives a number of new insights, and thereby contributes to a better understanding of this important application of reasoning with uncertain and incomplete information. | |||||||||
