Multivariate group judgments by qualitative controlled feedback

S. James Press

Expert InsightsPublished 1979

Qualitative Controlled Feedback is a new multistage method proposed for use by policymakers to help them elicit the value judgments and recommended decisions of groups about important issues. The method has been described and modeled for one question of interest in an earlier paper. This paper extends the work to the multivariate case in which there are several questions of interest that must be answered by each group member. The group responses are assumed to have intraclass correlation structure. Regression coefficients are estimated, and group responses on future stages are predicted.
