Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cultural Consensus Theory aims to find appropriate and correct answers of questions among the informants within the same culture and to solve problems in the situation that experts are different in experiences. There are two types of CCT models: formal and informal cultural consensus models. This article focuses on a formal cultural consensus model based on three
assumptions: homogeneity, conditional independence, and common truth. There are two steps in the analysis process: 1) individual estimation ability in agreement and 2) weighting answers of different informant correspondences to enhance more accuracy in decision making.
