Dempster-Shafer functions as metalinguistic probability functions
Abstract
Let Ln be a sentential language with n atomic sentences {A1, . . . , An}. Let Sn = {s1, . . . , s2n} be the set of 2n state descriptions of Ln, in the following, canonical lexicographical truth-table order: State Description A1 A2 · · · An−1 An T T T T T s1 = A1 & A2 & · · · &An−1 & An T T T T F s1 = A1 & A2 & · · · &An−1 & ¬An T T T F T s3 = A1 & A2 & · · · & ¬An−1 & An T T T F F s4 = A1 & A2 & · · · & ¬An−1 & ¬An..Author's Profile
