Classical Models and its Applications in D-S Evidence Theory

Abstract

D-S evidence theory is a theory of dealing with uncertain information which was empowered by Dempster and expanded by Shafer. However, as a theory founded in 1970s, D-S theory is invalid when there has conflicts between evidences. This papal reviewed classical models and applications of D-S evidence theory. These models revised the shortcomings of D-S theory and put forward some new methods. The applications of D-S theory involved decision-making, information fusion and many other fields.
