Abstract

This letter a. rectifies misrepresentations of the classical model b. identifies methodological shortcomings in the authors's approach and c. compares performance of the authors' "calibration weighting" with equal weights and global weights of the classical model on the large expert judgement data set made available in (Cooke and Goossens 2008)
