Extending the Procedure of Engelberg et al. (2009) to Surveys with Unequal Interval Widths
Engelberg等人(2009)将概率调查回答转化为连续概率分布的方法假设问题区间等宽，但现有调查区间常不等宽，直接应用会产生误导结果。本文展示了如何调整该方法以适应不等宽区间。
The approach by Engelberg et al. (2009) to convert probabilistic survey responses into continuous probability distributions implicitly assumes that the question intervals are equally wide. Almost all recently established surveys have intervals of unequal width. Applying the standard approach to these surveys gives implausible and potentially misleading results. This note shows how the approach of Engelberg et al. (2009) can be adjusted to account for intervals of unequal width.
