Two aspects of problems such as weight over-bounding and reliability-dependence cannot
be well solved in the evidential reasoning (ER) approach with both weight and reliability. In …

Three aspects of problems such as reasonable weight constraint, cumulative weight effect
and relative weight equivalence cannot be well reflected in the evidential reasoning (ER) …

Abstract The Dempster–Shafer (DS) theory of evidence can combine evidence with one
parameter. The evidential reasoning (ER) approach is an extension of DS theory that can …

Evidential reasoning (ER) rule has been widely used in dealing with uncertainty. As an
important parameter to measure the inherent property of evidence, the evidence reliability …

In the evidential reasoning (ER) approach, in addition to the weight of a criterion, reliability is
another important concept in connection with the criterion although it attracts little attention …

This paper aims to establish a unique Evidential Reasoning (ER) rule to combine multiple
pieces of independent evidence conjunctively with weights and reliabilities. The novel …

The determination of evidence weights is an important step in evidence combination, which
significantly influences final results. Taking into account the assumption of “psychology of …

The combination of sources of evidence with reliability has been widely studied within the
framework of Dempster-Shafer theory (DST), which has been employed as a major method …

This article aims to propose an evidential reasoning (ER) rule considering the parameter
uncertainty. As the essential parameters, the evidence weight and reliability make the ER …

Evidential Reasoning (ER) rule, which can combine multiple pieces of independent
evidence conjunctively, is widely applied in multiple attribute decision analysis. However …
