Abstract

This paper responds to a number of criticisms of Dempster-Shafer theory made by Judea Pearl. He criticises Dempster-Shafer belief for not obeying the laws of Bayesian belief; however, these laws leas to well-known problems in the face of ignorance, and seem unreasonably restrictive. It is argued that it is not reasonable to expect a measure of belief to obey Pearl's sandwich principle. The standard representation of “if-then” rules in Dempster-Shafer theory, criticised by Pearl, is justified and favorably constrasted with a conditional probability representation.
