Decision trees classifiers are popular classification methods. In this paper, we extend to multi-class problems a decision tree method based on belief functions previously described for 2-class problems only. We propose two ways to achieve this extension: combining multiple 2-class trees together and directly extending the estimation of belief functions within the tree to the multi-class setting. We provide experiment results and compare them to classical decision trees.
