A hybrid approach to improving rainfall forecasts
High-resolution rainfall forecasting— the ability to predict rainfall intensities at enhanced resolution in space and time—is one of the most difficult, but also most useful, problems in applied meteorology and hydrology. Such forecasting could help scientists predict floods and manage water resource operations. Despite its well-known benefits,1 however, scientists have made little progress ove...
متن کاملA pessimistic view of optimistic belief updating
Received academic wisdom holds that human judgment is characterized by unrealistic optimism, the tendency to underestimate the likelihood of negative events and overestimate the likelihood of positive events. With recent questions being raised over the degree to which the majority of this research genuinely demonstrates optimism, attention to possible mechanisms generating such a bias becomes e...
متن کاملA new approach to updating beliefs
We define a new notion of conditional belief, which plays the same role for Dempster Shafer belief functions as conditional probability does for probability functions. Our definition is dif ferent from the standard definition given by Demp ster, and avoids many of the well-known problems of that definition. Just as the conditional prob ability Pr(·IB) is a probability function which is the ...
متن کاملUpdating Choquet beliefs
We apply Pires’s coherence property between unconditional and conditional preferences that admit a CEU representation. In conjunction with consequentialism (only those outcomes on states which are still possible can matter for conditional preference) this implies that the conditional preference may be obtained from the unconditional preference by taking the Full Bayesian Update of the capacity....
متن کاملFast or Rational? A Response-Times Study of Bayesian Updating
We present a simple model for decision making under uncertainty building on dual-process theories from psychology, and use it to illustrate a possible component of intuitive decision making of particular relevance for managerial settings. Decisions are the result of the interaction between two decision processes. The first one captures optimization based on Bayesian updating of beliefs. The sec...
