y=dsstruct(x)
function y=dsstruct(x)
%=========================================================================   
% dsstruct
%=========================================================================   
% y=dsstruct(x) returns a Dempster-Shafer structure with BPA x. 
%
% Input: 
% x (optional): A N-3 array containing [lower_bound,upper_bound,mass]
% 
% Output:
% y: a new Dempster-Shafer structure
% Example: 
% 
% dss=dsstruct([2,3,0.5;3,4,0.5])
% 
% If the sum of masses is not 1, masses will be normalized. If
% lower_bound>upper_bound, they will be interchanged.
