Data Estimates and Subjective Probability: A Review.

Abstract

This paper addresses subjective probabilities and estimates of uncertain events in the future. The discussion is concerned with estimator's ability to provide estimates. Tversky and Kahneman have found that three heuristics describe the factors which determine an individual's estimate. The basic conclusion one can reach is that individual or group subjective estimates are still a measure of belief.
