Recovering Preferences From Finite Data

چکیده
We study preferences estimated from finite choice experiments and provide sufficient conditions for convergence to a unique underlying “true” preference. Our are weak and, therefore, valid in wide range of economic environments. develop applications expected utility theory, over consumption bundles, menu choice. framework unifies the revealed preference tradition with models that allow errors.

Recovering Risk Preferences
The work proposed here will develop experimental methods and tools for the analysis of behavior under uncertainty in economically important settings. The research is motivated by types of questions commonly asked in demand analysis: (i) Consistency. Is behavior under conditions of uncertainty consistent with a model of utility maximization? (ii) Structure. Is the observed data consistent with a...
متن کاملRecovering Information from Summary Data
We formulate this task as an inverse problem, specifying a well-defined cost function that has to be optimized under constraints. We show that our formulation includes the uniformity and independence assumptions as a special case, and that it can achieve better reconstruction results if we maximize the smoothness as opposed to the uniformity. In our experiments on real and synthetic datasets, t...
متن کاملrecovering 1d conductivity from aem data using occam inversion
over the past three decades helicopter-borne electromagnetic (hem) measurements have been used to reveal the resistivity distribution of the earth's subsurface for a variety of applications. hem systems include a “bird” or sensor containing one or more pairs of transmitting and receiving coils. the separation between the rigidly mounted transmitting and receiving coils of a coil-pair typic...
متن کاملRecovering Data from Failing Floppy Disks
As floppy disks and other similar media age, they may lose data due to a reduction in the retention of electromagnetic fields over time, mainly due to environmental factors. However, the coding techniques used to write data can be exploited along with the fault mechanisms themselves to successfully read data from failing floppy disks. This paper discusses the problem of recovering data from fai...
متن کاملRecovering Probability Distributions from Missing Data
A probabilistic query may not be estimable from observed data corrupted by missing values if the data are not missing at random (MAR). It is therefore of theoretical interest and practical importance to determine in principle whether a probabilistic query is estimable from missing data or not when the data are not MAR. We present algorithms that systematically determine whether the joint probab...
