Initialization of Masses by the Okm for the Belief Function Theory: Application to System Biology

In this paper we present a method of initialization of the masses for the belief function theory using the method of the Overlapping k-means (Okm). The Okm enables to create masses from union of singletons. The technic is presented with first experimental results on bioprocesses are presented.
