This is an extensive survey and critical examination of the literature on the use of expert opinion in scientific inquiry and policy making. Cooke argues for the importance of developing practical models with a transparent mathematical foundation for the use of expert opinion in science, and presents three tested models. Detailed case studies illustrate how they can be applied to a diversity of real problems in engineering and planning.
