New distances between bodies of evidence based on Dempsterian specialization matrices and their consistency with the conjunctive combination rule
This paper introduces a new family of evidential distances. These distances are matrix distances between Dempsterian specialization matrices. 3 properties are formalized: definiteness, structure and conjunctive consistency. Conjunctive consistency depicts ties between the conjunctive rule and distances. The distance based on the L1 matrix norm has the three desired properties.
