The theory of belief functions (or evidence theory) is another theory for modeling uncertainties of an epistemic nature. It was developed by Dempster (1967) and Shafer (1976) and is consequently sometimes known as the Demspter–Shafer theory. This approach is similar in spirit to the probability box theory and possibility theory, in that it seeks to obtain a bounding for a CDF.
