A belief structure is a distributed assessment with beliefs. It is used in the Evidential reasoning approach evidential reasoning ER approach for MCDA multi criteria decision analysis to represent the performance of an alternative option on a criterion. For example, the quality of a car engine may be assessed to be excellent with a high degree of belief e.g. 0.6 due to its low fuel consumption, low vibration and high responsiveness. At the same time, the quality may be assessed to be only good with a lower degree of belief e.g. 0.4 or less because its quietness and starting can still be improved. Such an assessment can be modeled by a belief structure Si engine excellent, 0.6 , good, 0.4 , where Si stands for the assessment of engine on the i th criterion quality . In the belief structure, excellent and good are assessment standards, whilst 0.6 and 0.4 are degrees of belief. In the ER approach, an MCDA problem is modelled by a belief decision matrix instead of a conventional Decision Matrix decision matrix . The difference of the two is that in the former, each element is a belief structure while in the latter, each element is a single value either numerical or textual .
