A Mathematical Theory of Hints: An Approach to the Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)

An approach to the modeling of and the reasoning under uncertainty. The book develops the Dempster-Shafer Theory with regard to the reliability of reasoning with uncertain arguments. Of particular interest here is the development of a new synthesis and the integration of logic and probability theory. The reader benefits from a new approach to uncertainty modeling which extends classical probability theory.
