Abstract

The ELICIPY software is a Python tool designed for expert elicitation, facilitating both the collection of expert judgments through online web forms and the subsequent analysis of those judgments. This update introduces several new features, enhancing the tool’s analytical capabilities and user experience. These novelties are: 1) an “agreement index” to quantify the level of agreement among experts, 2) two new versions of the Classical Model to compute expert weights, 3) an interactive dashboard for results exploration and visualization, 4) the possibility to import weights from an external file, 5) saving percentile values for each target question into an external file, 6) new plot options, 7) reorganized output directories, 8) password protection for online forms, 9) a repository page that tracks access and clones, 10) the automatic creation of fillable PDF forms for the seed and target questions, and 11) packaging of the Python tool with pip.
