eng Abstract:
The paper compares two main types of factorization of belief functions (one based on the Dempster´s rule of combination, the other based on the operator of composition) and shows that both the approaches are equivalent to each other in case of unconditional factorization and shows what are the differences when overlapping factorization is studied.
