Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A report indicating a user-reported probability of a successful outcome is received. A behavior and information model is estimated based on the report. The behavior and information model includes a behavior model component having a bias parameter and a consistency parameter. The behavior and information model includes an information model component having a first user-believed probability of a successful outcome and a second user-believed probability of a successful outcome. The behavior and information model is used to yield a model-determined probability of a successful outcome that more accurately reflects a probability of a successful outcome than the user-reported probability of a successful outcome does.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method comprising: receiving, by a processor, a report indicating a user-reported numeric probability of a successful outcome; estimating, by the processor, a behavior and information model based on the report, the behavior and information model including a behavior model component having a bias parameter indicating user bias in providing the user-reported numeric probability and a consistency parameter indicating user consistency in providing the user-reported nu…
