We extend the notion of belief function to the case where the underlying structure is no more the Boolean lattice of subsets of some universal set, but any lattice, which we will endow with a minimal set of properties according to our needs. We show that all classical constructions and definitions (
Uncertainty has been treated in science for several decades. It always exists in real systems. Probability has been traditionally used in modeling uncertainty. Belief and plausibility functions based on the Dempster-Shafer theory ~DST! become another method of measuring uncertainty, as they have bee
Alternative approaches to the widely known pignistic transformation of belief functions are presented and analyzed. Pignistic, cautious, proportional, and disjunctive probabilistic transformations are examined from the point of view of their interpretation, of decision making and ~from the point of
