This work addresses theoretical improvements in uncertainty quantification for researchers in belief function theory, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing measures.
The authors introduced a new entropy-like measure and a new measure of total uncertainty in the Dempster-Shafer theory, arguing that these measures are better justified than previous proposals.
