  • Abstract
    This paper analyses the result of a measurement in the mathematical model of incomplete knowledge and shows how it can be treated in the framework of the theory of evidence. The RFVs are considered in order to express the result of a measurement together with its uncertainty and a significant application is considered to prove the practical utility of the proposed approach.
