Alliance-based evidential reasoning approach with unknown evidence weights
作者：
Highlights：
• The importance of evidence weighting is indicated.
• A new equivalent equation for the pignistic probability distance is presented.
• Pieces of evidence are classified into different alliances.
• Optimization models for intra- and inter-alliances are built to provide evidence weights.
• Rationality analysis of the ERBA approach is given in experiments.
