Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

3.2.2 Computing the Combined Score (1)

Course subject(s) Module 3. Performance-based weights and the Decision Maker

You learned during the previous video about the combined score of an expert, which takes into account the calibration score as well as the information score

CS(e)=Cal(e)*Inf(e)

Recall that the information score is the average over the information scores of all calibration questions.

Also, recall the ending discussion of the previous module, about the preference of the calibration score over the information score.

The combined score actually accounts for this preference! You can check it yourselves!  Consider

Expert 1,  for whom the assessments result in a very small calibration score, say 0.0003 and a sufficiently large information score, say 3.5.
Expert 2,  for whom the assessments result a high calibration score, say 0.82 and a small information score, say 0.5.
