A Comparative Study of Two Novel Approaches to the Rule-Base Evidential Reasoning

摘要

Recently two new approaches to the rule-base evidential reasoning were proposed in the literature. The first of them is based on the Atannasov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets theory (A — IFS) and Dempster-Shafer theory (DST). The second one is based directly on the synthesis of fuzzy logic and DST. In this paper, using the simple, but real-world example, it is shown that the first approach in the critical case of high conflict provides more reasonable and intuitively obvious results.
