An intelligent interactive approach to group aggregation of subjective probabilities

We are concerned with the problem of obtaining a consensus subjective probability distribution from the individual opinions of a group of agents about the subjective probability distribution. We provide an iterative interactive algorithm that allows the agents to come to consensus formulation for the subjective probability distribution.
