Abstract :
The problem of probability transformation is crucial for decision-making in Dempster-Shafer Theory of evidence. In this paper, a compromise method has been proposed for transforming basic probability assignment to probability function. The novel transformation method can acquire better balance between easy decision-making and high risk. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the rationality and efficiency of the proposed method.
