This work addresses a theoretical problem for researchers in uncertainty reasoning, but it is incremental as it focuses on specific cases rather than a general equivalence.
The paper tackled the problem of relating two theories for representing uncertainty in reasoning systems, Incidence Calculus and Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence, by presenting a straightforward equivalence proof for some special cases.
Incidence Calculus and Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence are both theories to describe agents' degrees of belief in propositions, thus being appropriate to represent uncertainty in reasoning systems. This paper presents a straightforward equivalence proof between some special cases of these theories.
