Importance Of Sources Using The Repeated Fusion Method And The Proportional Conflict Redistribution Rules #5 And #6, Florentin Smarandache, Jean Dezert Jan 2014

Importance Of Sources Using The Repeated Fusion Method And The Proportional Conflict Redistribution Rules #5 And #6, Florentin Smarandache, Jean Dezert

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

We present in this paper some examples of how to compute by hand the PCR5 fusion rule for three sources, so the reader will better understand its mechanism. We also take into consideration the importance of sources, which is different from the classical discounting of sources.


Uniform And Partially Uniform Redistribution Rules, Florentin Smarandache, Jean Dezert Jan 2011

Uniform And Partially Uniform Redistribution Rules, Florentin Smarandache, Jean Dezert

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

This paper introduces two new fusion rules for combining quantitative basic belief assignments. These rules although very simple have not been proposed in literature so far and could serve as useful alternatives because of their low computation cost with respect to the recent advanced Proportional Conflict Redistribution rules developed in the DSmT framework.
