A Psychological Model for Aggregating Judgments of Magnitude
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we develop and illustrate a psychologicallymotivated model for aggregating judgments of magnitude across experts. The model assumes that experts’ judgments are perturbed from the truth by both systematic biases and random error, and it provides aggregated estimates that are implicitly based on the application of nonlinear weights to individual judgments. The model is also easily extended to situations where experts report multiple quantile judgments. We apply the model to expert judgments concerning flange leaks in a chemical plant, illustrating its use and comparing it to baseline measures.

Aggregating Causal Judgments
Decision-making typically requires judgments about causal relations: we need to know the causal e§ects of our actions and the causal relevance of various environmental factors. We investigate how several individualsí causal judgments can be aggregated into collective causal judgments. First, we consider the aggregation of causal judgments via the aggregation of probabilistic judgments, and iden...
متن کاملAn Imprecise Model of Combining Expert Judgments About Quantiles
Most models of aggregating expert judgments assume that there is some precise probability distribution characterizing the system behavior and expert information allows us to compute parameters of this distribution. However, judgments elicited from experts are usually imprecise and unreliable due to the limited precision of human assessments, and any assumption concerning a certain distribution ...

متن کاملA loss function approach to group preference aggregation in the AHP
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a useful method in aggregating group preference. We suggest a new method that uses consistency ratio as group evaluation quality. For this method, we introduce Taguchi's loss function. We also develop an evaluation reliability function to derive group weight. Lastly, we perform four experiments in order to confirm validity of this method. 1. Introduction ...
متن کاملAn Integrated Reasoning Approach to Moral Decision-Making
We present a computational model, MoralDM, which integrates several AI techniques in order to model recent psychological findings on moral decision-making. Current theories of moral decision-making extend beyond pure utilitarian models by relying on contextual factors that vary with culture. MoralDM uses a natural language system to produce formal representations from psychological stimuli, to ...
