The Delphi technique is an indispensable instrument for technology forecasting. The method is, however, limited by ambiguity aversion, uncertainty, and statistical optimism/pessimism bias. To address the aforementioned limitations, we have proposed a fuzzy Delphi technique based on Z-numbers in this pap...
The Delphi technique was employed because it enables consensus to be achieved from a wide range of knowledgeable participants when face-to-face discussion is unfeasible [32,33,34,35,36,37,38]. In total, 21 recommendations were presented, of which (a) 5 specifically addressed dyad 1, (b) ...
This technique is used by a method of a class to access inherited private data by Steve Teixeira in Issue 42 of The Delphi Magazine, February 1999.Assuming you have the source for the original class, this is just tedious, but of course you need to re-check everything as you move from ...
The Delphi technique is particularly useful to investigate future oriented or forecasting-type questions (Aichholzer, 2009; Okoli & Pawlowski, 2004; Rowe & Wright, 1999; Scapolo & Miles, 2006; Steinert, 2009) and to resolve complex problems (Engels & Kennedy, 2007; Landeta & Barrutia, 2011;...
The Delphi technique is a useful preliminary strategy to reach consensus among people, and this study has provided some relevant data on the factors that may lead to chronic pain and chronic pain-related disability in children. However, the study also has some important limitations. First, partici...
Atashpaz-Gargari and Lucas66developed the ICA technique in order to solve the optimization problems. ICA, which is known as a population-based algorithm for global search, begins its operation with a random initial population or candidate solution. In the scenarios performed by ICA, the countries...
The above-outlined benefits made it possible to use the modified Delphi technique in this study. This was followed by a systematic literature review to gather all the necessary information on basic characteristics associated with walkability. During the first round, the participants were offered a ...
The third technique, MICMAC analysis, is a technique used to assess the relative influence and interactions among factors in a decision-making problem [8]. In the context of MCDM, a MICMAC analysis helps identify driving and dependent factors and their impact on the overall decision problem [8...

The Delphi technique is an iterative, controlled, and anonymous expert consultation process with statistical feedback on the results obtained in successive rounds [37]. The process of preparing and conducting a Delphi study involves several steps that are usually grouped into different stages. The ...
