Abstract
Dempster-Shafer theory (DST) is an important theory for information fusion. However, in DST how to determinate the basic belief assignment (BBA) is still an open issue. The interval number based BBA determination method is simple and effective, where the features of different classes' samples are modeled using the interval numbers, i.e., an interval number model is constructed for each focal element. Then, the distances of interval numbers are used for measuring the similarity degrees between the testing sample and each focal element, and the similarity degrees are used for determinating the BBA. The definition of interval numbers' distance is crucial for the effectiveness of the interval number based BBA determination methods. In this paper, we use different interval numbers' distances for determinating BBAs. By using the artificial data set and the Iris date set of open UCI data base, respectively, we compare and analyze the determination of BBAs with different distances.
