Understanding pooled subjective probability estimates
Decision makers often must pool probability estimates from multiple experts before making a choice. Such pooling sometimes improves accuracy and other times diagnosticity. This article uses a cognitive model of the judge and the decision maker’s classification of the information to explain why. Given a very weak model of the judge, the important factor is the degree to which their information b...
متن کاملEliminating Incoherence from Subjective Estimates of Chance
Human judgment is an essential source of Bayesian probabilities but is plagued by incoherence when complex or conditional events are involved. We consider a method for adjusting estimates of chance over Boolean events so as to render them probabilistically coherent. The method works by searching for a sparse distribution that approximates a target set of judgments. (We show that sparse distribu...
متن کاملEvaluating and Combining Subjective Probability Estimates
This paper concerns the evaluation and combination of subjective probability estimates for categorical events. We argue that the appropriate criterion for evaluating individual and combined estimates depends on the type of uncertainty the decision maker seeks to represent, which in turn depends on his or her model of the event space. Decision makers require accurate estimates in the presence of...
متن کاملImproving Subjective Estimates Using Paired Comparisons
M ost practitioners and project managers still produce estimates based on ad hoc or so-called “expert” approaches, even though several software sizing methods—counting source lines of code,1 function points,2 full function points,3 and object points, to name a few—are well known and have been available for a long time. Among the most common explanations given for not adopting more formal Despit...
متن کاملRepresenting human uncertainty by subjective likelihood estimates
We give a definition of human uncertainty through subjective likelihood estimates. The subject is asked for his estimated likelihood of a discrete variable, given a present piece of uncertain observation, under the hypothetical assumption that the variable was uniformly distributed prior to the new observation. With this interpretation of human uncertainty, we are able to perform consistent inf...
