The study consisted of using a decision-making system for groups called a PM (Buckley & Doyle, 2014). A PM, according to Buckley & Doyle (2012), is “designed and run for the primary purpose of mining and aggregating information scattered among traders and subsequently using this information in the form of market values in order to make predictions about specific future events [Tziralis & Tatsiopoulos, 2007, p.75]. Conceptually, PM’s create group forecasts by allowing participants to buy and sell contracts in uncertain, future events. In the simplest form of a PM, a contract is created whose value depends on a future uncertain event (pg 6).”
