Welcome to the 'Expert Knowledge Elicitation with SHELF' course, Part 4. This part is called Skills and Resources. My name is Tony O'Hagan. I'm an emeritus professor at the University of Sheffield.

We'll begin by just reviewing the course as a whole. There are four talks in it. This is the last one, and the first was on Uncertainty and Probability, then we had One Distribution, One Expert, then Multiple Experts, and today we're going to be doing Skills and Resources. We'll be talking about the roles of the facilitator and the recorder and we'll be talking briefly about multivariate elicitation, and then we'll look at some case studies.

If you've just finished looking at Part 3 (Multiple Experts), in that part, we considered the general problem of eliciting a single distribution from multiple experts. We looked at different ways of doing that. We saw how SHELF approaches it using behavioural aggregation with several key features and then we looked at various SHELF methods for eliciting judgements. Different techniques you can use within the SHELF framework. Again, for eliciting from individual experts and from a group in the context of a single quantity of interest.

In this part, we will look at various tasks that we have to address before the elicitation workshop takes place. A lot of preparation is needed. We'll give some insights into the key roles of facilitator and recorder. They're skilled roles, particularly the facilitator, and they're really something that you need to practice before you can become really competent and confident in doing it. We'll talk a little bit about the key roles of facilitator and recorder. I will just introduce the topic of multivariate elicitation. This is quite complex and we're not going to have time to deal with it properly in this course, but at least give you a hint of how these things work when we're dealing with more than one quantity of interest. Finally, I'll do two more case studies. One involving hay fever and one involving asthma, and we'll see really through those more complicated ways that SHELF will be working.
