提出基于累积交集指数的新排列集距离度量方法,更敏感且可调。
A Distance Measure for Random Permutation Set: From the Layer-2 Belief Structure Perspective
- 从层2信念结构出发,用累积交集指数定义排列相似性
- 新方法具有自然的高阶权重特性,对排序差异更敏感
- 支持参数调节,适合需要灵活排序比较的决策场景
随机排列集(RPS)是表示有序不确定性信息的新框架。衡量排列质量函数间的距离是随机排列集理论(RPST)的关键问题。本文从随机有限集(RFS)和可传递信念模型(TBM)两个视角深入分析了RPS间距离。基于RPS的层2信念结构解释,将RPST视为TBM的细化,其中有序焦点集中的顺序代表定性倾向。从排列出发,引入累积交集指数以量化两排列相似性,并提出基于累积交集指数矩阵的RPS距离度量方法。研究了该度量的度量与结构性质,包括累积交集指数矩阵的正定性分析,并提供修正方案。所提方法具有自然的高阶权重特性:高排名元素的不一致导致更大距离值。为决策者提供两个参数以调节权重与截断深度。通过多个数值实验对比现有方法,结果表明该方法不仅克服了现有方法缺陷并兼容Jousselme距离,还具备更高灵敏度与灵活性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Random permutation set (RPS) is a recently proposed framework designed to represent order-structured uncertain information. Measuring the distance between permutation mass functions is a key research topic in RPS theory (RPST). This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of distances between RPSs from two different perspectives: random finite set (RFS) and transferable belief model (TBM). Adopting the layer-2 belief structure interpretation of RPS, we regard RPST as a refinement of TBM, where the order in the ordered focus set represents qualitative propensity. Starting from the permutation, we introduce a new definition of the cumulative Jaccard index to quantify the similarity between two permutations and further propose a distance measure method for RPSs based on the cumulative Jaccard index matrix. The metric and structural properties of the proposed distance measure are investigated, including the positive definiteness analysis of the cumulative Jaccard index matrix, and a correction scheme is provided. The proposed method has a natural top-weightiness property: inconsistencies between higher-ranked elements tend to result in greater distance values. Two parameters are provided to the decision-maker to adjust the weight and truncation depth. Several numerical examples are used to compare the proposed method with the existing method. The experimental results show that the proposed method not only overcomes the shortcomings of the existing method and is compatible with the Jousselme distance, but also has higher sensitivity and flexibility.
