Consistent Subsets of Inconsistent Systems
A large knowledge system operating for a long time almost inevitably becomes \polluted" by wrong data that makes the system inconsistent. Despite this fact, a sizeable part of the system remains unpolluted, and retains useful information. It is widely adopted that a maximally consistent subset of a system (mc-subset) contains a sig-niicant portion of unpolluted data. So, determining mc-subsets ...
متن کاملConsistent Good News and Inconsistent Bad News
Good news is more persuasive when it is more consistent, and bad news is less damaging when it is less consistent. We show when Bayesian updating supports this intuition so that a biased sender prefers more or less variance in the news depending on whether the mean of the news exceeds expectations, and we apply the result to selective news distortion by a manager of multiple projects. If news f...
متن کاملTime-consistent Individuals, Time-inconsistent Households
I present a model of consumption and savings for multi-person households in which members are imperfectly altruistic and share wealth. I show that, despite having standard exponential time preferences, the household is time-inconsistent: members save too little and overspend on private consumption goods. Access to private illiquid durable goods can exacerbate overconsumption by providing a way ...
متن کاملRecognizing Scenes Containing Consistent or Inconsistent Objects
How does object perception influence scene perception? A recent study of ultrarapid scene categorization (Joubert et al., 2007) reported facilitated scene categorization for scenes with consistent objects compared to scenes with inconsistent objects. One proposal for this consistent-object advantage is that ultrarapid scene categorization is influenced directly by explicit recognition of partic...
متن کاملToward consistent definitions for preload and afterload.
Significant differences exist among textbook definitions for the terms preload and afterload, leading to confusion and frustration among students and faculty alike. Many faculty also chose to use in their teaching simple terms such as "end-diastolic volume" or "aortic pressure" as common-usage approximations of preload and afterload, respectively, but these are only partial representations of t...
