Additional loss functions were created to examine contents damage by using expert judgement to tie building state (for volcanic ashfall, deposit thickness was used instead) to contents damage (Table 6).
In the third study, which began in 2011 and was completed in 2014 (Newhouse & Tarricone, 2014) the researchers sought to investigate the efficacy of digitisation for online analytical marking and comparative judgement methods by building on Dillon and Brown's (2006) use of e-portfolios.
Here, we have used our judgement to correlate the buildings contained within typical insurance classes with our vulnerability typologies (Table 3), e.g. a commercial or industrial building of light metal (RMS 4B) is assumed to have a large roof span, and concrete roof decks (RMS 3A, 3B, 4A) are assumed to be flat, rather than pitched.
We present a discussion on the challenges of building net neutrality upon judgements on whether traffic optimisation is objectively necessary.
The selection of an architect for a public building involves multiple stakeholders and judgements about designs as well as about potential partners.
A housing recovery, similarly, has to be a recovery in how well good judgement has returned: a recovery in better lending, better borrowing, and better building.
While the first of these inputs is generally prescribed in building codes, the latter two require greater engineering knowledge and judgement.
Model-building entailed use of statistical procedures; variable selection was informed by clinical judgement and internal validation of models was performed via the bootstrap method.
Second, model building entails constructing some form of model which represents decision-makers' objectives and their value judgements.
In the context of a European tendering procedure for a public building, design quality perceptions were analysed for underlying dimensions and comparisons made between lay and expert judgements.
