Probabilistic Transformations of Belief Functions
[chapter]
2005

Evidential Confirmation as Transformed Probability
[article]
2013
arXiv
pre-print
It recasts some of confirmation theory's advantages in terms of the psychological accessibility of probabilistic information in different (transformed) formats. ...
We show how to represent two major such alternative approaches to evidential confirmation not only in terms of transformed (Bayesian) probability, but also in terms of each other. ...
Thanks also to Richard Duda, Peter Hart, and Nils Nilsson for their interest, and their help in providing the unpublished history of the development of the PROSPECTOR method. ...

Is entropy enough to evaluate the probability transformation approach of belief function?
2010
2010 13th International Conference on Information Fusion
In Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) of evidencee and transferable belief model (TBM), the probability transformation is necessary and crucial for decision-making. ...
The evaluation of the quality of the probability transformation is usually based on the entropy or the probabilistic information content (PIC) measures, which are questioned in this paper. ...
Conclusion Probability transformation of belief function can be considered as a probabilistic approximation of belief assignment, which aims to gain more reliable decision results. ...

Smart Transformations: The Evolution of Choice Principles
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
In other words, we will look at evolutionary competition of payoff transformations in "meta-games", obtained from averaging over payoffs of single games. ...
Here, we want to extend this existing approach even further by asking: which general patterns of subjective conceptualizations of payoff functions are evolutionarily successful across a class of games. ...
Through this abstract we will assume that probabilistic and non-probabilistic beliefs are just two different and compatible forms of belief. ...
