Group inference method of attribution theory based on Dempster–Shafer theory of evidence

作者：

Highlights：

• Information extraction mechanism is introduced to ensure judgments to be valid.

• Dempster’s rule-based method is proposed to make fusion for attribution theory.

• Consensus reaching is introduced to increase satisfaction degree of group decision.

• Group inference algorithm of attribution theory is presented with the DST.
