Parameter estimation based on interval-valued belief structures
  Parameter estimation based on uncertain data represented as belief structures
is one of the latest problems in the Dempster-Shafer theory. In this paper, a
novel method is proposed for the parameter estimation in the case where belief
structures are uncertain and represented as interval-valued belief structures.
Within our proposed method, the maximization of likelihood criterion and
minimization of estimated parameter's uncertainty are taken into consideration
simultaneously. As an illustration, the proposed method is employed to estimate
parameters for deterministic and uncertain belief structures, which
demonstrates its effectiveness and versatility.
