Functional relationships from experts: an assessment process which minimizes heuristic bias

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6795941

A process for assessing complex functional relations using expert judgments is presented. A functional classification based on simplifying human factors and system structure is introduced. Errors in judgment due to heuristic bias and other factors are examined, and an approach is outlined which minimizes these errors in the assessment of functional relations between two variables.
