Book Synopsis
Both in science and in practical affairs we reason by combining facts only inconclusively supported by evidence. Building on an abstract understanding of this process of combination, this book constructs a theory of epistemic probability. It opens with a critique of the well-known Bayesian theory of epistemic probability.

Trade Review
"[T]he Dempster-Shafer theory is a natural, important and useful extension of classical probability theory... Shafer's book contains a wealth of significant results, and is a must for anyone who wants to do serious research on problems relating to the rules of combination of evidence in expert systems."--Lotfi A. Zadeh, AI Magazine
