Abstract

We consider the problem related to the elicitation of basic probability assignments within the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory. So far, most of the methods for their estimation is data-driven, and very few proposals have been presented to capture subjective beliefs. We proposes an approach based on pairwise comparisons. The approach is based on the well-established body of knowledge on thetheory of pairwise comparisons and shows its flexibility as it can incorporate multiple representations for the subjective judgments and multiple experts, just to cite two possible extensions. Moreover, this application of pairwise comparisons has the potential to trigger new theoretical developments.
