Popis: In pattern recognition, handling uncertainty is a critical challenge that significantly affects decision-making and classification accuracy. Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) is an effective reasoning framework for addressing uncertainty, and the Random Permutation Set (RPS) extends DST by additionally considering the internal order of elements, forming a more ordered extension of DST. However, there is a lack of a transformation method based on permutation order between RPS and DST, as well as a sequence-based probability transformation method for RPS. Moreover, the reliability of RPS sources remains an issue that requires attention. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an RPS transformation approach and a probability transformation method tailored for RPS. On this basis, a reliability computation method for RPS sources, based on the RPS probability transformation, is introduced and applied to pattern recognition. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach effectively bridges the gap between DST and RPS and achieves superior recognition accuracy in classification problems.
