Modified PCR rules of combination with degrees of intersections

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a modification of PCR5 and PCR6 fusion rules with degrees of intersections for taking into account the cardinality of focal elements of each source of evidence to combine. We show in very simple examples the interest of these new fusion rules w.r.t. classical Dempster-Shafer, PCR6, Zhang's and Jaccard's Center rules of combination.
