Non-Destructive Sample Generation From Conditional Belief Functions
This paper presents a new approach to generate samples from conditional belief functions for a restricted but non trivial subset of conditional belief functions. It assumes the factorization (decomposition) of a belief function along a bayesian network structure. It applies general conditional belief functions.

Reasoning From Data in the Mathematical Theory of Evidence
Mathematical Theory of Evidence (MTE) is known as a foundation for reasoning when knowledge is expressed at various levels of detail. Though much research effort has been committed to this theory since its foundation, ma…
A New Approach to Updating Beliefs
We define a new notion of conditional belief, which plays the same role for Dempster-Shafer belief functions as conditional probability does for probability functions. Our definition is different from the standard defini…
Factorization of Dempster-Shafer Belief Functions Based on Data
One important obstacle in applying Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) is its relationship to frequencies. In particular, there exist serious difficulties in finding factorizations of belief functions from data. In probabilit…
Ordinal Conditional Functions for Nearly Counterfactual Revision
We are interested in belief revision involving conditional statements where the antecedent is almost certainly false. To represent such problems, we use Ordinal Conditional Functions that may take infinite values. We mod…
counterfactualOn Marginally Correct Approximations of Dempster-Shafer Belief Functions from Data
Mathematical Theory of Evidence (MTE), a foundation for reasoning under partial ignorance, is blamed to leave frequencies outside (or aside of) its framework. The seriousness of this accusation is obvious: no experiment …
