요약	Belief Rule Base (BRB), introduced by Yang et al. in 2006 under the RIMER framework, is an expert-system inference methodology that extends classical if-then rules by attaching belief degree distributions to rule consequents. It combines rule-based reasoning with the Evidential Reasoning (ER) approach, enabling the representation and propagation of uncertainty, incompleteness, and vagueness in complex decision problems across engineering, risk assessment, and management domains.	Dempster-Shafer theory is a mathematical framework for reasoning under uncertainty that generalizes Bayesian probability by representing ignorance explicitly. Instead of forcing a single probability on each hypothesis, it assigns belief mass to sets of hypotheses and derives a belief-plausibility interval, and it provides Dempster's rule for fusing evidence from multiple independent sources. Developed from Arthur Dempster's 1967 work and Glenn Shafer's 1976 monograph, it underpins evidential reasoning and sensor/decision fusion.	A fuzzy cognitive map, introduced by Bart Kosko in 1986, represents a system as a network of concepts connected by signed, weighted causal links, and simulates how the concepts influence one another over time. By combining the intuitive structure of a cognitive map with fuzzy weights and iterative activation, FCMs let experts encode causal knowledge and then run what-if scenarios — making them popular for policy analysis, strategic decision-making, and modelling complex socio-technical systems.	Rule Induction, and specifically the RIPPER (Repeated Incremental Pruning to Produce Error Reduction) algorithm, is a supervised machine learning method that learns a compact set of IF-THEN classification rules from labeled training data. Introduced by William W. Cohen in 1995, RIPPER applies a separate-and-conquer strategy combined with minimum description length (MDL) pruning to generate rules that are both accurate and interpretable, making it a landmark algorithm in the field of inductive rule learning.
