ReportDOI
Combination of Evidence in Dempster-Shafer Theory
Kari Sentz,Scott Ferson +1 more
TL;DR: This report surveys a number of possible combination rules for Dempster-Shafer structures and provides examples of the implementation of these rules for discrete and interval-valued data.
Book
Risk assessment in conservation biology
TL;DR: A framework for risk assessment using the Exonential model for population growth, the logistic equation and magpie geese as a model for suburban shrews, and other forms of density dependence.
ReportDOI
Constructing Probability Boxes and Dempster-Shafer Structures
TL;DR: A variety of the most useful and commonly applied methods for obtaining Dempster-Shafer structures, and their mathematical kin probability boxes, from empirical information or theoretical knowledge are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different methods are needed to propagate ignorance and variability
Scott Ferson,Lev R. Ginzburg +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the two kinds of uncertainty should be propagated through mathematical expressions with different calculation methods, basically, interval analysis should be used to propagate ignorance, and probability theory should beused to propagate variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenge problems: uncertainty in system response given uncertain parameters
TL;DR: This paper describes the challenge problems and gives numerical values for the different input parameters so that results from different investigators can be directly compared and develop a better understanding of the relative advantages and disadvantages of traditional and newer methods.
