Development of an algorithm for processing expert assessments based on a weighted median

Subject of research: methodology for processing expert assessments in the forensic centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia based on the weighted median principle. Purpose of research: to develop and test an algorithm for processing expert assessments that takes into account the competence of experts and ensures consistency of opinions when evaluating the effectiveness of forensic units. Research methods: mathematical modeling, expert assessment methods, decision theory, statistical analysis methods, pairwise comparison method, methods for assessing the consistency of expert opinions. Objects of research: the expert decision-making process in the organizational and technical systems of the ECC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia; methods and algorithms for processing group expert assessments. Research findings: an algorithm for processing expert assessments based on a weighted median has been developed, which allows taking into account the competence of experts and ensuring consistency of their opinions. The algorithm was tested using the example of evaluating the effectiveness of the ECC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in terms of execution time (T), quality (Q) and resource intensity (R). During the testing of the developed algorithm, it was found that the proposed algorithm ensures high consistency of expert assessments and allows an objective ranking of performance indicators.
