A Proposal of New Conditioning in Evidence theory

Abstract

Updating or conditioning given a specific fact is important in dealing with uncertainty measures. In Evidence theory, several methods have been proposed, including Dempster's rule of conditioning. The paper views the conditioning rules proposed so far and proposes a new model of conditioning rule. Then, comparison between the proposed and Dempster's rule as well as others shows that the proposed conditioning is the only one that satisfies the requirements which we believe the conditioning rule should satisfy.
