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:
1) Bayes' equation with a simple example of its use.
2) Simple averaging.
3) Trust weighted averaging.
4) Techniques for binned and continuous distributions.
5) Trust-weighted histograms.
6) Population distributions and privacy considerations.
