Belief elicitation with multiple point predictions

نویسندگان

چکیده

We propose a simple, incentive compatible procedure based on binarized linear scoring rules to elicit beliefs about real-valued outcomes - multiple point predictions . Simultaneously eliciting with incentives reveals the subjective probability distribution without pre-defined intervals or probabilistic statements. show that approach is theoretically as robust existing methods, while adapting flexibly different beliefs. In laboratory experiment, we compare our standard of discrete probabilities intervals. find elicitation faster, perceived less difficult and more consistent subsequent decision. further are accurate if vary between participants. Finally, provide experimental evidence anchor reports.

Prior Elicitation in Multiple Change-point Models

This paper discusses Bayesian inference in change-point models. Existing approaches involve placing a (possibly hierarchical) prior over a known number of change-points. We show how two popular priors have some potentially undesirable properties (e.g. allocating excessive prior weight to change-points near the end of the sample) and discuss how these properties relate to imposing a fixed number...

Dynamic Belief Elicitation∗

At t = 1, an expert has (probabilistic) information about a random outcome X. The expert obtains further information as time passes, up to t = N at which X is publicly revealed. (How) Can a protocol be devised that induces the expert, as a strict best response, to reveal at the outset his prior assessment of both X and the information flows he anticipates and, subsequently, what information he ...

Learning and Belief Elicitation: Observer Effects

This paper asks a simple methodological question about belief elicitation: Does asking subjects about their beliefs during a repeated game change the way subjects play the game? In particular, we ask if belief elicitation changes behavior in the direction of belief based learning models, away from reinforcement learning models. Based on a carefully designed laboratory experiment, we show that p...

Supplementary Appendix to “ Dynamic Belief Elicitation ”

This Supplementary Appendix includes additional results and the proofs omitted from the main text. Throughout, references are to the main text and to the appendix of the main text, unless they include the prefix “SA.” It proceeds as follows. In Section SA.1, we provide several examples that illustrate the general method of the main text to special environments. In Section SA.2, we consider the ...

Elicitation of Expert Opinions for Constructing Belief Functions

This paper presents a method for constructing belief functions from elicited expert opinions expressed in terms of qualitative preference relations. These preferences are transformed into constraints of an optimization problem whose resolution allows the generation of the least informative belief functions according to some uncertainty measures. Mono-objective and Multiobjective optimization te...
