摘要:Probability boxes (p-boxes) are used as a tool for modeling uncertainty regarding probability distributions in the sets of relevant elements (random events, values of the random variable etc.). To combine information produced by two or more p-boxes, Dempster’s rule for belief combination is commonly used. However, there are plenty of other rules for belief combination developed within the theory of evidence. The purpose of this paper is to present and analyze some widespread rules of that kind as well as examine their potentialities regarding combining the information provided by probability boxes.
