Deriving And Combining Continuous Possibility Functions in the Framework
  of Evidential Reasoning
  To develop an approach to utilizing continuous statistical information within
the Dempster- Shafer framework, we combine methods proposed by Strat and by
Shafero We first derive continuous possibility and mass functions from
probability-density functions. Then we propose a rule for combining such
evidence that is simpler and more efficiently computed than Dempster's rule. We
discuss the relationship between Dempster's rule and our proposed rule for
combining evidence over continuous frames.
