Uncertain inference using interval probability theory
1998
International Journal of Approximate Reasoning
The use of interval probability theory (IPT) for uncertain inference is demonstrated. The general inference rule adopted is the theorem of total probability. ...
Uncertain inference using IPT is compared with Bayesian inference. ...
A review of interval probability theory IPT is founded on the axioms of probability theory but allows support for a conjecture to be separated from support for the negation of the conjecture. ...

The method combines features of the theory of fuzzy sets, Shafer’s theory of evidence (Shafer 1976) and probability theory to form a suitable framework for uncertain logical rea- soning. ...
Probability and fuzzy logic are examples of two such choices. The modeling of uncertain inference is, however, rather different from the traditional problems of modeling physical systems. ...

PROBABILISTIC INFERENCE FOR INTERVAL PROBABILITIES IN DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES
2019
Environment Technology Resources Proceedings of the International Scientific and Practical Conference
The present paper considers one approach to Bayes' formula based probabilistic inference under interval values of relevant probabilities; the necessity of it is caused by the impossibility to obtain reliable ...

BAYESIAN NETWORK WITH INTERVAL PROBABILITY PARAMETERS

Interval data are widely used in real applications to represent the values of quantities in uncertain situations. ...
However, the implied probabilistic causal relationships among interval-valued variables with interval data cannot be represented and inferred by general Bayesian networks with point-based probability parameters ...
As well, the rule-based methods, D-S evidence theory, fuzzy set and rough set theories are frequently used mechanisms for representing and inferring uncertain knowledge. 19 Among these methods, the D-S ...

Foundations of probabilistic inference with uncertain evidence
2005
International Journal of Approximate Reasoning
Uncertain evidence is defined as the class of observations for which this statement cannot take place in certain terms. ...
It is a significant class of evidence, since it cannot be treated using Bayes Theorem in its conventional form [G. Shafer, A Math- ...
Alternative theories, such as Fuzzy Logic [2] , Possibility Theory [3] and Evidence Theory [4] have been advocated as theories that should be used where Probability Theory allegedly fails to apply ...
