Research on conflict evidence combination based on compatibility distance
基于相容性距离的冲突证据合成方法研究

Aiming at the counterintuitive results generated in the combination of highly conflicting pieces of evidence in evidence theory, this paper proposed a new evidence combination approach based on consistence distance. It analyzed the three existent aspects of classic rule and characteristics of usual modified methods. Then it built evidense distance and consistence measure matrix via Euclidean distance. Finally it calculated the consistence coefficient to distribute the conflict probability after normalized acceptance. Numerical example illustrates the efficiency of the proposed approach.
