Abstract

In this paper, we provide an axiomatic justification for decision making with belief functions by studying the belief-function counterpart of Savage's Theorem where the state space is finite and the consequence set is a continuum [l, M] (l Keywords:Uncertainty in AI: Decision;Utility Theory Uncertainty in AI: Uncertainty in AI
