For a number of statistical applications, experts' subjective estimates are needed for distributional parameters, like mean and variance; sometimes even the whole density is wanted. The literature agrees that it is wise behaviour to ask the expert only quantile estimates; from these, the desired...

For a number of statistical applications subjective estimates of some distributional parameters - or even complete densities are needed. The literature agrees that it is wise behaviour to ask only for some quantiles of the distribution; from these, the desired quantities are extracted. Quite a...
