Book Description
We prove that it yields expected values identical to those obtained by a probabilistic analysis that makes the same assumption. We maintain a strict separation between evidence that carries information about a situation and assumptions that may be made for disambiguation of choices. In addition, we show how the decision analysis methodology frequently employed in probabilistic reasoning can be extended for use with belief functions. This generalization of decision analysis allows the use of belief functions within the familiar framework of decision trees."
