A NOVEL INTERVAL CERTITUDE RULE BASE INFERENCE METHOD WITH EVIDENTIAL REASONING

摘要

In this paper, a rule based representation with interval certitude structure is presented as well as its inference method based on evidential reasoning, operational research and fuzzy set theory. A rule base is designed with interval certitude degrees embedded in the antecedent terms and consequent terms, which is shown to be capable of capturing uncertainties of human knowledge and human judgment. And the evidential reasoning approach is applied to the rule combination.
