Technical Report SAND 2002-0835, Sandia National Laboratories, 2002. See especially pages 10-13. The context in that technical report, is sensor fusion using Dempster-Shafer Theory, which as I have since learned<\/a>, is a common approach to combination of evidence.)) serves\u00a0the larger goal of the paper — which is to describe how to combine evidence of different types.<\/span><\/p>\n

The four types of evidence\u00a0depicted are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Consonant Evidence – each set is wholly contained in another (all sets can be arranged in a nested series of subsets)<\/li>\n
  2. Consistent Evidence – have a common element (nonempty intersection of all sets)<\/li>\n
  3. Disjoint Evidence – in which there is no overlap (pairwise\u00a0disjoint intersection of sets)<\/li>\n
  4. Arbitrary Evidence – where none of the three preceding situations holds (i.e. there is no consensus but some agreement)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Evidence classification could possibly be thought of in conjunction with argument classification; for the latter, see my earlier musings\u00a0Towards a Catalog of Argumentation Patterns<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
