Rounding using Random Walks - An Experimental Study
We have carried out rigorous experimental analysis of iterative randomized rounding algorithms for the packing integer problem in this project. We have explored techniques based on multidimensional Brownian motion in R. Let x′ be a fractional feasible solution that maximizes a linear objective function with respect to the set of constraints Ax ≤ 1, A ∈ {0,1}m×n. The independent randomized round...
متن کاملStatus Quo Bias under Uncertainty: An Experimental Study∗
Individuals’ tendency to stick to the current state of affairs, known as the status quo bias, has been widely documented over the past 30 years. Yet, the determinants of this phenomenon remain elusive. Following the intuition suggested by Bewley (1986), we conduct a systematic experiment exploring the role played by different types of uncertainty on the emergence of the bias. We find no bias wh...
متن کاملAn Experimental Case Study on Uncertainty Quantification in Structural Dynamics
The consideration of uncertainties in numerical models to obtain the probabilistic descriptions of vibration response is becoming more desirable for industrial scale finite element models. Broadly speaking, there are two ‘parts’ in this problem. The first is the quantification of parametric and nonparametric uncertainties associated with the model and the second is the propagation of uncertaint...
متن کاملSocial Interaction Effects and Choice Under Uncertainty: An Experimental Study
Extensive field evidence shows individuals’ decisions in settings involving choice under uncertainty (e.g. savings and investment choices) depend on the decisions of their peers. One hypothesized cause of peer group effects is social interaction effects: an individual’s utility from an action is enhanced by others taking the same action. We employ a series of controlled laboratory experiments t...
متن کاملThreshold uncertainty in discrete public good games: an experimental study
A discrete public good is provided when total contributions equal or exceed the contribution threshold. Recent theoretical work shows that an increase in threshold uncertainty will increase (decrease) equilibrium contributions when the public good value is sufficiently high (low). In an experiment designed to test these predictions, I find only limited verification of the prediction. Using elic...
