ExpertElicitation

Thanks for taking an interest in my expert elicitation work.

Please read this before making use of the R code and data set.

Citation and Licensing

R code and dataset to accompany Energy Policy paper title "An expert elicitation of climate, energy and economic uncertainties".

If you make use of this dataset and/or R-code, please ensure that you abide by the terms of the licence, details of which can be found in the file Licence.md

Note that any use of this work must be accompanied by an attribution, preferably a citation to the paper in which this work is published. Kindly use the following citation (or equivalent):

Usher, W. & Strachan, N., 2013. An expert elicitation of climate, energy and economic uncertainties., Energy Policy, 61, pp.811–821. Available at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2013.06.110

Use of R code

The R code is provided with no support and is unfortunately of a rather typical scientist standard i.e. poorly commented and inefficient. It got the job done.

You are welcome to make use of the code as best you can, licensing notwithstanding.

I will update the code as time goes on, and intend to make it more general and applicable to datasets other than that provided in data.txt.

Before using each .R file, be sure to update the working directory line setwd("/Users/Will2/repository/expertelicitation") to that relevant for your own system.

Contents of the repository

The repository contains the following files:

• 3 .R files which contain (largely duplicated) code that plot
  • The weighted pool of oil price
  • Box plots of all six parameters investigated
  • Density and box plots of all six parameters
• 4 .txt files in tab-delimited format that contain data
  • Plot labels
  • Weights for computing the weighted pool
  • Categories
  • The main data file which includes all the distribution data
