Firstly, based on strong random set and weak random set, the unified form to describe both data (unambiguous information) and fuzzy evidence (uncertain information) is introduced. Secondly, according to signatures of fuzzy evidence, two Bayesian-markov nonlinear measurement models are proposed to fuse effectively data and fuzzy evidence. Thirdly, by use of "the models-based signature-matching scheme", the operation of the statistics of fuzzy evidence defined as random set can be translated into that of the membership functions of relative point state variables. These works are the basis to construct qualitative measurement models and to fuse data and fuzzy evidence.展开更多

The qualities of available information are usually uncertain,vague,imprecise,incomplete,and so on. However,the information is modeled and fused traditionally in particular,name some of the known theories: evidential,fuzzy sets,possibilistic,rough sets or conditional events,etc. For several years,researchers have explored the unification of theories enabling the fusion of multisource information and have finally considered random set theory as a powerful mathematical tool. This paper attempts to overall review the close relationships between random set theory and other theories,and introduce recent research results which present how different types of information can be dealt with in this unified framework.

With the random set theory as a bridge, this kind of information can be transformed into fuzzy evidence in Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory. Then Dempster's combination rule or other combination rules of evi- dence can be used perfectly for fusing natural-language and other information. However, this traditional transformation involves the use of α -cutsets to construct the focal elements which have to be repre- sented as consonant sets. This construction is very inflexible and unreasonable in some practical ap- plications. In this paper, with the desire to overcome this limitation, a method for constructing more general non-consonant focal elements is proposed based on the random set theory. Some examples are given to show the generality and the efficiency of this new method. Finally, we validate that non-consonant constructions provide less degrees of total uncertainty than that of the consonant case in these examples by using the evaluation criterion of total uncertainty.展开更多

Firstly, the simultaneous faults' model is built based on the generalized frame of discernment in DSmT. Secondly, according to the unified description of combination rules in evidence reasoning based on random sets, a new combination rule for simultaneous faults diagnosis is proposed. Thirdly, according to the working characteristics and environment of the sensors used to acquire fault characteristic information, a new method to construct basic probability assignment function is pro- posed based on membership. Finally, diagnosis result is obtained by use of the new combination rule combined with decision rules. A case pertaining to the fault diagnosis for a multi-function rotor test-bed is given, and the result shows that the proposed diagnosis approach is feasible and efficient.展开更多

Evidence theory is an effective tool in dealing with uncertainty question. It relies on the expert knowledge to provide evidences,needing the evidences to be independent,and this make it difficult in application. To solve this problem,a hybrid system of rough sets and evidence theory is proposed. Firstly,simplification are made based on Variable Precision Rough Set (VPRS) conditional entropy. Thus,the Basic Belief Assignment (BBA) for all evidences can be calculated. Secondly,Dempster’s rule of combination is used,and a decision-making is given. In the proposed approach,the difficulties in acquiring the BBAs are solved,the correlativity among the evidences is reduced and the subjectivity of evidences is weakened. An illustrative example in an intrusion detection shows that the two theories combination is feasible and effective.展开更多

It is because of being unsatisfied with consistency condition or judgment matrix too intricate to solve, which causes AHP invalidation. So in order to resolve this problem, AHP knowledge systems reduced with the aid of Genetic Algorithms (GA) were proposed, which directly acquired the order of AHP issue through the rule of Rough Sets Theory (RST) method, or solved the tasks reduced by RST with classical AHP method. On this condition, the compare decision system of region informatization level was solved, and the results solved were the same to those by classical AHP, which denoted that this method was more simple and reliable, besides the four rules of changing AHP system into RST Decision System.展开更多

Two types of membership functions (MFs) are computed: one based on the timing features of all the samples and another based on the timing features of a single sample. These MFs lead to two types of information components (spatial and temporal) which are concatenated and modified to produce different feature types. Two Component Information Set (TCIS) is proposed for keystroke dynamics based user authentication. The keystroke features are converted into TCIS features which are then classified by SVM, Random Forest and proposed Convex Entropy Based Hanman Classifier. The TCIS features are capable of representing the spatial and temporal uncertainties. The performance of the proposed features is tested on CMU benchmark dataset in terms of error rates (FAR, FRR, EER) and accuracy of the features. In addition, the proposed features are also tested on Android Touch screen based Mobile Keystroke Dataset. The TCIS features improve the performance and give lower error rates and better accuracy than that of the existing features in literature.展开更多
