A Mathematical Perspective on Gambling
This paper presents some basic topics in probability and statistics, including sample spaces, probabilistic events, expectations, the binomial and normal distributions, the Central Limit Theorem, Bayesian analysis, and statistical hypothesis testing. These topics are applied to gambling games involving dice, cards, and coins.
متن کاملBehavior Informatics: A New Perspective
methodologies, theories, tools, and systems aren’t ready for deeply, fully, and effectively capturing, representing, quantifying, analyzing, learning, and measuring the semantics, sequencing, networking, evolution, utility and impact of individual, group, and cohort behaviors taking place in the real world. This is becoming fundamental and critical in the age of Big Data. Here, in this installm...
متن کاملA lifetime perspective on foraging and mortality.
Food intake carries many potential risks which may impair an animal's reproductive success not only in the current breeding cycle, but also for the rest of its lifetime. We examine the lifetime trade-off between the costs and benefits of food intake by presenting a simple animal foraging model, where each unit of food eaten carries with it a risk of mortality. We show that the optimal food inta...
متن کاملA public health perspective for youth gambling
The recent emergence of gambling problems among youth around the world is alarming. For those most vulnerable in our society, children and adolescents, problem gambling presents a serious public health concern. Our current knowledge and understanding of the magnitude of the problem and its considerable impact upon the well-being of youth compels us to respond in a timely and effective manner. A...
متن کاملImpulsivity affects suboptimal gambling-like choice by pigeons.
Pigeons prefer a low-probability, high-payoff but suboptimal alternative over a reliable low-payoff optimal alternative (i.e., one that results in more food). This finding is analogous to suboptimal human monetary gambling because in both cases there appears to be an overemphasis of the occurrence of the winning event (a jackpot) and an underemphasis of losing events. In the present research we...
