  ABSTRACT={We address recent criticisms of evidential reasoning, an approach to
     the analysis of imprecise and uncertain information that is based on the Dempster-Shafer
     calculus of evidence. We show that evidential reasoning can be interpreted
     in terms of classical probability theory and that the Dempster-Shafer calculus
     of evidence may be considered to be a form of generalized probabilities reasoning
     based on the representation of probabilistic ignorance by intervals of possible
     values. In particular, we emphasize that it is not necessary to resort to nonprobabilistic
     or subjectivist explanations to justify the validity of the approach.}
