Abstract
In Yen (1990), Yen developed an approach that addressed the issue of managing imprecise and vague information in evidential reasoning by combining Dempster-Shafer theory with fuzzy set theory. Later we will apply Yen’s method to arrive at the degree of belief of certain subsets of a set {x 1, ..., x k }. We assume we have n subsets of X, A j , j = 1, ... , n, which are the focal elements of a function m of the power set of X into the closed interval [0, 1], i.e., m(A j ) > 0, j = 1, ... , n.
