Dempster Shafer Theory

Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) is a mathematical framework for reasoning under uncertainty, developed by Arthur Dempster and extended by Glenn Shafer, which allows for handling incomplete, vague, or conflicting evidence. It includes key concepts such as the Frame of Discernment, representing all possible hypotheses. DST can be applied to resolve differing opinions, such as those from doctors about a patient's condition.
