    Hi

    The following book contains some material about belief functions on
    continuous frames of
    discernment :

    Kohlas J., Monney P.A. (1995) A Mathematical Theory of Hints. An Approach to
    the Dempster-Shafer
    Theory of Evidence. Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems,
    vol. 425. Springer.

    Best regards,

                    [I posted this before but got no response, so I'm trying
    again.]

                    Can anyone tell me if belief-function theories such as
    Dempster-Shafer are
                    capable of handling continuous domains? Shafer's book only
    discusses finite
                    domains, and it's not at all obvious to me how one would
    generalize it to a
                    continuous domain.
