, The R Journal (2009) 1:1, pages 31-36.
The expert package provides tools to create and manipulate empirical statistical models using expert opinion (or judgment). Here, the latter expression refers to a specific body of techniques to elicit the distribution of a random variable when data is scarce or unavailable. Opinions on the quantiles of the distribution are sought from experts in the field and aggregated into a final estimate. The package supports aggregation by means of the Cooke, Mendel–Sheridan and predefined weights models.
