  • This paper proposes a new method to estimate weighting coefficients in weighted weights of evidence (WWofE) in order to reduce the influence of correlation among evidence layers when hypothesis of conditional independence is not true. Sequential estimation method in WWofE combines WWofE and dual weights of evidence (DWofE) to gradually add evidence layers with specific sequence to WWofE model. In the process, the posterior probability obtained by former evidence layers is considered as fuzzy training layer in DWofE to correct the sequence of layers. The weighting coefficients are estimated by using conditional correlation coefficient. As a case study, a group data generated by four variable normal distribution and Sn-Cu mineral resources assessment in Gejiu, Yunan, southwestern China are used. The results show that WWofE model is effective to reduce the influence of correlations among evidence layers.
