Multi-Expert Opinions Combination Based on Evidence Theory
An approach is presented to multi-expert’s opinions combination based on the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory. In the method, we use multi-expert’s knowledge as evidence, the possible value of weight as frame of discernment, expert’s evaluation to a weight on frame of discernment as basic probability assignment, and use D-S rule combining to give fusion basic probability assignment m. Finally, t...
متن کاملStochastic population forecasts based on conditional expert opinions
The paper develops and applies an expert-based stochastic population forecasting method, which can also be used to obtain a probabilistic version of scenario-based official forecasts. The full probability distribution of population forecasts is specified by starting from expert opinions on the future development of demographic components. Expert opinions are elicited as conditional on the reali...
متن کاملOn welfare frameworks and catastrophic climate risks
Recent theoretical work in the economics of climate change has suggested that climate policy is highly sensitive to ‘fat-tailed’ risks of catastrophic outcomes (Weitzman, 2009b). Such risks are suggested to be an inevitable consequence of scientific uncertainty about the effects of increased greenhouse gas concentrations on climate. Criticisms of this controversial result fall into three catego...
متن کاملModelling Climate Change Effects on Wine Quality Based on Expert Opinions Expressed in Free-Text Format: The WEBSOM Approach
The motivation for modelling the effects of climate change on viticulture and wine quality using both qualitative and quantitative data within an integrated analytical framework is described. The major constraints and solutions evident when taking such an approach are outlined. WEBSOM is a novel self-organising map (SOM) method for extracting relevant domain-dependent characteristics from web b...
متن کاملAggregation of expert opinions
Con icts of interest arise between a decision maker and agents who have information pertinent to the problem because of di erences in their preferences over outcomes. We investigate how the decision maker can extract the information by distorting the decisions that will be taken. We show that only slight distortions will be necessary when agents' signals are sufciently accurate or when the numb...
