متن کاملStatistical Decisions under Ambiguity
Consider a decision maker who faces a number of possible models of the world. Every model generates objective probabilities, but no probabilities of models are given. This is the classic setting of statistical decision theory; recent and less standard applications include decision making with model uncertainty, e.g. due to concerns for misspecification, treatment choice with partial identificat...
متن کاملDecisions under subjective information
This paper addresses two closely related aspects of subjective information. First, no two agents necessarily see the same thing when they observe the same object. Second, no two agents have the same concepts in mind when they use the same term in a shared language. I present a framework to give rigorous meaning to these ideas, in particular by modeling them in appropriate topologies. From there...
متن کاملEngineering Decisions under Risk - Averseness ∗
Engineering decisions are invariably made under substantial uncertainty about current and future system cost and response, including cost and response associated with low-probability, highconsequence events. A risk-neutral decision maker would rely on expected values when comparing designs, while a risk-averse decision maker might adopt nonlinear utility functions or failure probability criteri...

Well-known findings in psychology ...
