Interactive visualizations to improve Bayesian reasoning
… for estimations of judges’ outcome performance, based on readily available process information. Altogether, findings from three experiments point to visualizations being a rich area to mine, and prime candidate for expanding the toolbox of techniques that can be used to more accurately elicit the …
