Abstract

A method for analysis of expert estimations agreement is proposed, which consists in defining groups of experts with close opinions, i.e. coalitions, and removing estimations of experts from nonessential coalitions. The α coefficient denotes the unionization of experts into coalitions according to the values of their estimations, and the β coefficient sets a coalition to essential or nonessential ones. The method proposed shows the result of higher quality in comparison with other known methods and provides a simple transparent calculus procedure. The method is illustrated with an example.
