Experts, Practitioners, and Practical Judgement

Journal of Moral Philosophy, 2007
AbstractIn Theory and Practice Kant challenges the well-worn view that practitioners do not need to rely on theory. He acknowledges that experts with a deep knowledge of theory may fail as practitioners both in technical matters, and in matters of morality and justice.

A method to estimate the reliability of expert judgement

Proceedings. IEEE Energy and Information Technologies in the Southeast', 2003
One of the difficulties encountered in the development of an expert system is the fact that the available information/evidences are not known with certainty and very often they are not consistent, and conflict with one another to some extent. The authors present a technique to estimate the variability of results obtained from inconsistent information ...

Improving judgement with prepaid expert advice

Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, 2004
AbstractDecision makers (“Judges”) often make decisions after obtaining advice from an Advisor. The two parties often share a psychological “contract” about what each contributes in expertise to the decision and receives in monetary outcomes from it. In a laboratory experiment, we varied Advisor Experitise and the opportunity for monetary rewards.

Methods for combination of expert judgements

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 1993
Abstract The problem of combining expert probability distributions is discussed. The approach adopted here is based on information-theoretic considerations. Combination procedures based on minimization of the sums of the Kullback-information between the expert distributions and the aggregated distribution are derived. The aggregated distributions are

Estimation of rare errors using expert judgement

Biometrika, 1988
\textit{D. R. Cox} and \textit{E. J. Snell}, ibid. 66, 125-132 (1979; Zbl 0403.62017) investigate inference about the total population error when most observations are zero. Their approach is parametric and assumes that errors are positive. Empirical evidence indicates, however, that negative errors are not uncommon and that the error distribution is ...

Bayesian aggregation of experts' judgements on failure intensity

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2000
Predictive modelling in the field of dependability, such as repair cost modelling, is usually based on the failure intensity function of repairable systems. The experience feedback data needed to estimate the failure intensity function is, however, seldom available due to the unique character of the systems.

Expert judgements and the demand for novels in Flanders

Journal of Cultural Economics, 2010
This paper analyses the effect of literary prizes and nominations on the subsequent market success using a panel dataset of Dutch-language titles from January 2003 to June 2005. The analysis indicates winning a prize generally has a positive effect on the ensuing sales, whereas nominations do not generate additional sales.

Expert Judgement without Values

Abstract Many contemporary philosophers of science think that it is proper for ethical considerations to play a role in deciding scientific claims. We disagree, not least because this is likely to bring science into disrepute. The paper offers a sustained case for this claim.
