Decision Making: The Virtue of Patience in Primates
Marmoset monkeys devalue rewards requiring travel to acquire, but tamarin monkeys do not, despite the greater patience of marmosets when rewards are delayed in time. Such preference reversals, not predicted by standard economic theory, may reflect behavioral mechanisms adaptively specialized for different spatial and temporal patterns of foraging.
متن کاملPatience Versus Decisiveness in Decision-Making
When rationality is bounded, a variety of factors may influence how far a choice is from optimal. We examine the willingness to search among alternatives. We find fixed individual differences in this temperament measure. People may be usefully typed according to how they obtain improved choices. More patient subjects obtain improvement by effectively using decision resources, performing better ...
متن کاملBalanced Allocation: Patience is not a Virtue
Load balancing is a well-studied problem, with balls-in-bins being the primary framework. The greedy algorithm Greedy[d] of Azar et al. places each ball by probing d > 1 random bins and placing the ball in the least loaded of them. It ensures a maximum load that is exponentially better than the strategy of placing each ball uniformly at random. Vöcking showed that a slightly asymmetric variant,...
متن کاملOn the Virtue of Patience: Minimizing Büchi Automata
Explicit-state model checkers like SPIN, which verify systems against properties stated in linear-time temporal logic (LTL), rely on efficient LTL-to-Büchi translators. A difficult design decision in such constructions is to trade time spent on minimizing the Büchi automaton versus time spent on model checking against an unnecessarily large automaton. Standard reduction methods like simulation ...
متن کاملTiming of surgery in rasmussen syndrome: is patience a virtue?
Rasmussen syndrome affects previously normal people and forever changes their lives and the lives of their families. Although understood as a probable autoimmune condition, medical treatment remains limited and surgery remains the only cure, although with inevitable functional consequences. Difficulties remain in deciding on the optimal timing of surgery. Here, we review data available to aid c...
