Conflict Management in Dempster-Shafer Theory by Sequential Discounting Using the Degree of Falsity
Johan Schubert.
In this paper we develop a method for
conflict management within
Dempster-Shafer theory. The idea is
that each piece of evidence is
discounted in proportion to the degree
that it contributes to the conflict. This
way the contributors of conflict are
managed on a case-by-case basis in
relation to the problem they cause.
Discounting is performed in a
sequence of incremental steps, with
conflict updated at each step, until the
overall conflict is brought down
exactly to a predefined acceptable
level.
