Abstract
In belief functions, there are two types of uncertainty which are due to la ck of knowledge: randomness and non-specificity. In this paper, we present a non-specificity measure for convex sets of probability distributions that generalizes Dubois and Prade's nonspecificity measure in the Dempster-Shaf er theory of evidence.
