Abstract

The Successive Likelihood Index Method establishes the degree of liability, and therefore the corresponding compensation, of the various errors that have caused an accident. From an expert judgment, the successive likelihood index of each error is calculated by a weighted arithmetic mean of their opinions. In this work we have considered other averaging functions for aggregating this information and we have studied their behavior. In particular, we have studied in detail the case of power means applied to the accident of the oil tanker Aegean Sea.
