This is a web application for collecting data from content "specialists" in order to elicit prior distributions. It is written using Shiny, R and Python.
Please visit the following URL to use the PriorElicitation app on your browser:
https://ocbe.shinyapps.io/elicit/
This online version is currently running on a low-powered server at Shinyapps.io and is prone to instabilities. If you encounter errors while using the software, please use local hosting to run the app from your own computer (next section).
You can host the app on your computer, which is especially useful for developers. The app also runs noticeably faster locally than it does on the Shinyapps server.
The Prior Elicitation Shiny app depends on a few R packages to run. You can either visually check the list below or run that command once to make sure you have all the required dependencies installed:
install.packages(c("shiny", "reticulate", "rdrop2", "shinyjs", "scatterplot3d", "shinycssloaders"))Once you have all dependencies installed, run the following command from an interactive R session:
shiny::runGitHub("PriorElicitation", "ocbe-uio", "release-1.0.0", "Shiny")If you have Make installed, you can also conviently run PriorElicitation from the command line with make run.
This is Open Source software and all contributions are welcome. If you would like to report a bug or request a feature, please open an issue on the Issues page.
