Abstract

This paper introduces the idea of a modified Dempster-Shafer theory. We adapt the belief characteristic of expert combination by introducing a penalty term which is specific to the investigated object. This approach is motivated by the observation that final decisions in the Dempster-Shafer theory might tend to fluctuations due to variations in sensor inputs on small time scales, even if the real phenomenological characteristic is stable.
