SHELF (version 1.2.0)

elicit: Elicit judgements and fit distributions interactively

Description

Opens up a web browser (using the shiny package), from which you can specify judgements, fit distributions and plot the fitted density functions with additional feedback.

Usage

elicit()

Details

Parameter limits determine which distributions can be fitted. Non-negative lower limits are needed for the gamma, lognormal and log-t distributions, and both limits must be finite for to fit a beta distribution. If a histogram is fitted without specifying finite limits, endpoints are chosen based on fitting a normal distribution.

As an example, if the elicited judgements are P(X<15)=0.25, p(x<20)="0.5)" and="" p(x<40)="0.75," specify="" the="" parameter="" values="" as="" 15,20,40="" cumulative="" probabilities="" 0.25,0.5,0.75.<="" p="">

Press Esc in the R console window to exit the elicitation session.
