Aggregation refers to the way we combine the opinions of others to obtain a final value of the opinion. A poll which takes the sum of each person's candidate preference in an election and then calculates the percentage for each candidate is an aggregation technique.

A number of aggregation techniques are possible. A few are listed here:

Bayes' equation with a simple example of its use.

Simple averaging.

Trust weighted averaging.

Techniques for binned and continuous distributions.

Trust-weighted histograms.

Population distributions and privacy considerations.
