“…7 that the MAE of selling expenses prediction is significantly decreased after 300 iterations and gradually tends to converge. 5) and (6). For example, apart from the rule consisted of {(NL, 0.157), (Z, 0.843)} for operating income, {(Z, 0.52), (PL, 0.48)} for total profit, and {(NL, 0.49), (Z, 0.51)} for selling expenses, there is another rule consisted of {(Z, 0.843), (PL, 0.157)} for operating income, {(NL, 0.48), (Z, 0.52)} for total profit, and {(Z, 0.51), (PL, 0.49)} for selling expenses at the division domain D(Z, Z), the resulting new extended belief rule can be calculated and its belief distributions is {(NL, 0.0785), (Z, 0.843), (NL, 0.0785)} in operating income, {(NL, 0.24), (Z, 0.52), (PL, 0.24)} for total profit, and {(NL, 0.245), (Z, 0.51), (PL, 0.245)} for selling expenses.…”
