Belief functions induced by multimodal probability density functions, an application to the search and rescue problem

P.-E. Doré, A. Martin, I. Abi-Zeid, A.-L. Jousselme, P. Maupin (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

In this paper, we propose a new method to generate a continuous belief functions from a multimodal probability distribution function defined over a continuous domain. We generalize Smets' approach in the sense that focal elements of the resulting continuous belief function can be disjoint sets of the extended real space of dimension n. We then derive the continuous belief function from multimodal probability density functions using the least commitment principle. We illustrate the approach on two...

Bi-directional nearness in a network by AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ANP (Analytic Network Process)

Kazutomo Nishizawa (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

In this paper we study bi-directional nearness in a network based on AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ANP (Analytic Network Process). Usually we use forward (one-dimensional) direction nearness based on Euclidean distance. Even if the nearest point to i is point j, the nearest point to j is not necessarily point i. Sowe propose the concept of bi-directional nearness defined by AHP'ssynthesizing of weights “for” direction and “from” direction. This concept of distance is a relative distance...

Bounds of graph parameters for global constraints

Nicolas Beldiceanu, Thierry Petit, Guillaume Rochart (2006)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

This article presents a basic scheme for deriving systematically a filtering algorithm from the graph properties based representation of global constraints. This scheme is based on the bounds of the graph parameters used in the description of a global constraint. The article provides bounds for the most common used graph parameters.

Building adaptive tests using Bayesian networks

Jiří Vomlel (2004)

Kybernetika

We propose a framework for building decision strategies using Bayesian network models and discuss its application to adaptive testing. Dynamic programming and A O algorithm are used to find optimal adaptive tests. The proposed A O algorithm is based on a new admissible heuristic function.
