Expert Elicitation A Worked Example
Avoiding Bias • Basing judgement on all knowledge and consider all available relevant evidence; • Consider the widest possibilities for a range of values and not be constrained by a particular value or range; • Be prepared to contradict your own previous thinking and statements • Be realistic about your level of confidence or experience of a particular subject; • Avoid decisions that might be biased towards organisational goals.
