An improved conflicting evidence combination approach based on a new supporting probability distance

作者：

Highlights：

• New concepts of supporting probability function and its distance are proposed.

• A novel combination method based on supporting probability distance is proposed.

• The new distance is a better measure for conflict information containing non-singleton elements.

• The proposed method can obtain more reasonable result than that of the pignistic distance method.
