COMMENTS ON THE PAPER “AN ALTERNATIVE COMBINATION RULE FOR EVIDENTIAL REASONING”

In this note we want to show that the PCR6 fusion rule works and redistributes the conflicting mass properly, contrarily to the authors’ assertion that “the focal element {v3} absorbs almost all of the conflicting mass (the majority).” We also question the validity of the new CREC rule of combination presented by the authors.
