In the theory of belief functions many combination rules are proposed in the purpose of merging and confronting several sources opinions. Some combination rules are used when sources are cognitively independent whereas others are specific to dependent sources. In this paper, we suggest a method to quantify sources degrees of dependence in order to choose the more appropriate combination rule. We used generated mass functions to test the proposed method.
