摘要
An approach is proposed that is useful for long term forecasting of market penetration of new technologies, fuel price and availability, business performance, etc. The central idea is to systematically solicit experts' opinion in the form of subjective probability distributions in making future projection. The approach has two basic ingredients. One is the decomposition of the problem so that each expert is dealing with a relatively simple situation. The other is to use modeling so as to minimize the information required of the experts. The likelihood of occurrence of the relevant future scenarios is computed by eliciting from experts the single event and the conditional probabilities. The probability distributions for the variable of interest are assessed by specifying some scenarios. A model is used to predict the probability distributions for a general set of scenarios. A study using the approach to forecast solar electric energy market penetration by the year 2000 is discussed.
