In combination with recent results in inverse uncertainty propagation and the consistent aggregation of marginal possibility distributions, this estimation procedure enables a very general approach to possibilistic identification problems in the framework of imprecise probabilities, i.e. the non-parametric estimation of possibility distributions of uncertain variables from data with a clear interpretation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess510620On data-based estimation of possibility distributionspreprint
