A new singular property of the unnormalized Dempster’s rule among uninorm-based combination rules
F. Pichon, T. Denoeux.
A new family of rules of combination
for belief functions was recently introduced.
It is based on uninorms
and an equivalent representation of
a belief function known as the weight
function. The unnormalized Dempster’s
rule was notably shown to be
the least committed rule in this family.
This paper shows another interesting
property of this rule in this
family: it is the only one for which
marginalization is distributive over
the combination.
