Popis: When classifying an example on the basis of an observed population of (training) samples, at least three kinds of situations can arise where picking a single class may be difficult: high aleatory uncertainty due to the natural mixing of classes, high epistemic uncertainty due to the scarcity of training data, and non-conformity or atypicality of the example with respect to observations made so far. While the two first kinds of situations have been explored extensively, the last one still calls for a principled analysis. This paper is a first proposal to address this issue within the theory of belief function.
