A Prediction Tournament Paradox
In a prediction tournament, contestants “forecast” by asserting a numerical probability for each of (say) 100 future real-world events. The scoring system is designed so that (regardless of the unknown true probabilities) more accurate forecasters will likely score better. This is true for one-on-one comparisons between contestants. But consider a realistic-size tournament with many contestants...
متن کاملSpatial price discrimination and the merger paradox
A familiar result in the literature on mergers is that the principal beneficiaries from such activity are the firms which are excluded from participation. The possible existence of this ‘merger paradox’ contrasts strongly with the frequently expressed view that merger is anti-competitive. This paper examines the question within the context of a model of spatial competition in which firms choose...
متن کاملA pragmatic solution to the polysemy paradox*
This paper investigates the phenomenon of polysemy: a single word with two or multiple related senses (e.g. run in run a half marathon, run on gasoline, run a shop, etc.). While it is largely unproblematic from the point of view of communication, polysemy poses a range of theoretical and descriptive problems. This has been described as the polysemy paradox (Ravin & Leacock 2000). In this paper,...
متن کاملA Solution to the Gating Paradox
We introduce a Markov model for the gating of membrane channels. The model features a possible solution to the so–called gating current paradox, namely that the bell–shaped curve that describes the voltage dependence of the kinetics is broader than expected from, and shifted relative to, the sigmoidal curve that describes the voltage dependence of the activation. The model also predicts some te...
متن کاملA Solution of the Mitra Paradox
The “Mitra paradox” refers to the fact that while the de Sitter spacetime appears non-static in a freely falling reference frame, it looks static with reference to a fixed reference frame. The coordinate-independent nature of the paradox may be gauged from the fact that the relevant expansion scalar, θ = √ 3Λ, is finite if Λ > 0. The trivial resolution of the paradox would obviously be to set Λ...
