Comparison of popular evaluation methods.

NameEvaluation methodAdvantageDisadvantage

Subjective Logic ModelExpress the influence of trust parameter factor on trust value in fact space and idea spaceMore in line with common senseDifficulty dealing with massive collaborative cheating and defamation
Information Entropy ModelConstructing a trust evaluation algorithm based on entropy incrementVulnerability was assessed and characterizedUsing entropy to represent trust is not comprehensive enough
Weighted Average ModelFit the weighted average formula of each parameter factor and directly calculate the trust valueThe method is simple to execute and the algorithm is efficientThe weight determination process is complicated
Bayesian ModelUse Bayes’ theorem to combine prior probabilities with new evidence to get new probabilitiesThe method is simple and the algorithm is efficient.Poor subjectivity
Fuzzy TheoryUpdating trust vectors using fuzzy logicTakes into account the “fuzzy” properties of trust itselfDifficulty making rules
Game TheoryEstablish a game model for the acquisition of trust information of nodesComprehensive evaluation and high accuracyThe game model building process is complicated
Machine LearningBuild a machine learning model as an evaluation algorithmStrong intuition, high evaluation accuracy, closer to “human” evaluationLarge amount of calculation and low evaluation efficiency
