Abstract

The paradigm of the permanence of updating ratios, which is a well-proven concept in experimental engineering approximation, has recently been utilized to construct a probabilistic fusion approach for combining knowledge from multiple sources. This ratio-based probabilistic fusion, however, assumes the equal contribution of attributes of diverse evidences. This paper introduces a new framework of a fuzzy probabilistic data fusion using the principles of the permanence of ratios paradigm, and the theories of fuzzy measures and fuzzy integrals. The fuzzy sub-fusion of the proposed approach allows an effective model for incorporating evidence importance and interaction.
