Resolving some contradictions in the theory of linear opinion pools
Theory and Decision 88 (3):453-456 (2020)
Abstract
Bradley develops some theory of the linear opinion pool, in apparent contradiction to results of Dawid et al.. We investigate the sources of these contradictions, and in particular identify a mathematical error in Bradley that invalidates his main result.My notes
