DEMPSTER-SHAFER THEORY BY PROBABILISTIC REASONING
Keywords:
Probability, Probabilistic Reasoning, Dempster-Shafer theory, Belief function, Plausibility, Mutually exclusive, LatticeAbstract
Probabilistic reasoning is used when outcomes are unpredictable. We examine the methods which use probabilistic representations for all knowledge and which reason by propagating the uncertainties can arise from evidence and assertions to conclusions. The uncertainties can arise from an inability to predict outcomes due to unreliable, vague, in complete or inconsistent knowledge. Some approaches taken in Artificial Intelligence system to deal with reasoning under similar types of uncertain conditions.
