On Thursday, 23 June, Duco Veen will stop by to discuss his work on prior elicitation. You can register here.
Abstract
Duco will discuss how expert knowledge can be captured and formulated as prior information for Bayesian analyses. This process is also called expert elicitation. He will highlight some ways to improve the quality of the expert elicitation and provide case examples of work he did with his colleagues. Additionally, Duco will discuss how the captured expert knowledge can be contrasted with evidence provided by traditional data collection methods or other prior information. This can be done, for instance, for quality control or training purposes where experts reflect on their provided information.
