Abstract
It is appropriate to use Dempster's rule for combining belief functions only if the belief functions combined are based on independent items of evidence. What can be done in the case of dependent evidence? Often the answer is to reframe the problem. Three examples are given: one from everyday experience, one from probabilistic relaxation, and one from expert systems.
