Ferson, Scott; Kreinovich, Vladik; Grinzburg, Lev; Myers, Davis; Sentz, Kari

This report summarizes a variety of the most useful and commonly applied methods for obtaining Dempster-Shafer structures, and their mathematical kin probability boxes, from empirical information or theoretical knowledge. The report includes a review of the aggregation methods for handling agreement and conflict when multiple such objects are obtained from different sources.
