An evidential classifier based on feature selection and two-step classification strategy

作者:

Highlights:

• A classifier is based on Belief Functions to tackle uncertain data.

• The classifier composed by feature selection and a two-step classification.

• A new combination rule to better represent data uncertainty.

• A new feature selection is based on minimizing uncertainty with sparse constraint.

• Two-step classification improving accuracy of decision making.
