Two views of belief: belief as generalized probability and belief as evidence

JY Halpern, R Fagin - Artificial intelligence, 1992 - Elsevier
Belief functions are mathematical objects defined to satisfy three axioms that look somewhat
similar to the Kolmogorov axioms defining probability functions. We argue that there are (at …

Belief functions and parametric models

G Shafer - Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B …, 1982 - academic.oup.com
The theory of belief functions assesses evidence by fitting it to a scale of canonical examples
