Eliciting Dirichlet and Gaussian copula prior distributions for multinomial models
In this paper,we propose novelmethods of quantifying expert opinion about prior distributions formultinomial models. Two different multivariate priors are elicited using median andquartile assessments of themultinomial probabilities. First, we start by eliciting a univariate beta distribution for the probability of each category. Then we elicit the hyperparameters of the Dirichlet distribution,...
متن کاملOn Eliciting Some Prior Distributions for Multinomial Models
In Bayesian analysis of multinomial models, an important assessment task is to elicit an informative joint prior distribution for multinomial probabilities. We start by introducing a method to elicit a univariate beta distribution for the probability of each category using probability quartiles. Three different multivariate priors are introduced using the elicited betas. As a tractable conjugat...
متن کاملA Prescriptive Approach to Eliciting Decision Information
The importance of making good decisions is well-known in the business world and the perception of decision making as rational choice is the most common view. The amount of information involved in many decision making situations has increased dramatically in recent years and support of some kind is often needed. Consequently, fields like Business Intelligence (BI) and Decision Support Systems (D...
متن کاملVirtual People: Capturing Human Models to Populate Virtual Worlds
In this paper a new technique is introduced for automatically building recognisable moving 3D models of individual people. Realistic modelling of people is essential for advanced multimedia, augmented reality and immersive virtual reality. Current systems for whole-body model capture are based on active 3D sensing to measure the shape of the body surface. Such systems are prohibitively expensiv...
متن کاملEliciting Mental Models
Title: Using the repertory grid and laddering technique to determine the user's evaluative model of search engines. Purpose This study explores a method for the determination of users' representations of search engines, formed during their interaction with these systems. The purpose is to determine the extent to which these elicited 'mental models' indicate the system aspects of importance to t...
