A Novel Measure of Uncertainty in the Dempster-Shafer Theory

In the Dempster-Shafer theory, how to quantitatively evaluate the quality of information is an essential issue and also an open issue. Many of measures of uncertainty have been proposed in previous work, whereas some measures among them had been proved to have a few shortcomings. The validity and ra...
