An Improved Evidential-IOWA Sensor Data Fusion Approach in Fault Diagnosis
As an important tool of information fusion, Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is widely applied in handling the uncertain information in fault diagnosis. However, an incorrect result may be obtained if the combined evidence is highly conflicting, which may leads to failure in locating the fault. To de...
