Abstract

This chapter presents the Dempster-Shafer theory of beliefs and plausibility, which can be seen as a formalism for the interpretation of probabilities in terms of degrees of belief. The basic notions are presented, with their implementation in R. It also explores the connections between beliefs and probabilities. Programs in R implement all the elements introduced, and their use is exemplified.
