The Transferable Belief Model for Belief Representation

As shown in Chapter 8, there are different forms of imperfect data, be they uncertain or imprecise. Models have been proposed for each form, but modeling combined forms of imperfect data has hardly been achieved. It would nevertheless seem useful to have a single model that could represent several forms of uncertainty. Possibly, this could be achieved by simulating what might be the human approach to such problems.
