Geometry of relative plausibility and relative belief of singletons
The study of the interplay between belief and probability can be posed in a geometric framework, in which belief and plausibility functions are represented as points of simplices i...

Can the Minimum Rule of Possibility Theory Be Extended to Belief Functions?
Abstract. When merging belief functions, Dempster rule of combination is justified only when sources can be considered as independent. When dependencies are ill-known, it is usual ...

Discountings of a Belief Function Using a Confusion Matrix
In this paper, we present an analysis of different approaches relative to the correction of belief functions based on the results given by a confusion matrix. Three different mecha...

Constructing Multiple Frames of Discernment for Multiple Subproblems
In this paper we extend a methodology for constructing a frame of discernment from belief functions for one problem, into a methodology for constructing multiple frames of discernm...

Belief function independence: I. The marginal case
In this paper, we study the notion of marginal independence between two sets of variables when uncertainty is expressed by belief functions as understood in the context of the tra...

The application of the matrix calculus to belief functions
The mathematics of belief functions can be handled with the use of the matrix notation. This representation helps greatly the user thanks to its notational simplicity and its effi...

Belief functions and default reasoning
We present a new approach to dealing with default information based on the theory of belief functions. Our semantic structures, inspired by Adams' -semantics, are epsilon-beli...

Clustering decomposed belief functions using generalized weights of conflict
We develop a method for clustering all types of belief functions, in particular non-consonant belief functions. Such clustering is done when the belief functions concern multiple ...

Defining belief functions using mathematical morphology - Application to image fusion under imprecision
We address in this paper the problem of defining belief functions, typically for multi-source classification applications in image processing. We propose to use mathematical morph...

A definition of subjective possibility
: Based on the setting of exchangeable bets, this paper proposes a subjectivist view of numerical possibility theory. It relies on the assumption that when an agent constructs a pr...
