Likelihood-Based Statistical Decisions
In this paper, a nonadditive quantitative description of uncertain knowledge about statistical models is obtained by extending the likelihood function to sets and allowing the use of prior information. This description, which has the distinctive feature of not being calibrated, is called relative plausibility. It can be updated when new information is obtained, and it can be used for inference ...
متن کاملStatistical Decisions under Ambiguity
Consider a decision maker who faces a number of possible models of the world. Every model generates objective probabilities, but no probabilities of models are given. This is the classic setting of statistical decision theory; recent and less standard applications include decision making with model uncertainty, e.g. due to concerns for misspecification, treatment choice with partial identificat...
متن کاملContext-Gated Statistical Learning and Its Role in Visual-Saccadic Decisions
Adaptive behavior in a nonstationary world requires humans to learn and track the statistics of the environment. We examined the mechanisms of adaptation in a nonstationary environment in the context of visual-saccadic inhibition of return (IOR). IOR is adapted to the likelihood that return locations will be refixated in the near future. We examined 2 potential learning mechanisms underlying ad...
متن کاملCombining statistical inference and decisions in ecology.
Statistical decision theory (SDT) is a sub-field of decision theory that formally incorporates statistical investigation into a decision-theoretic framework to account for uncertainties in a decision problem. SDT provides a unifying analysis of three types of information: statistical results from a data set, knowledge of the consequences of potential choices (i.e., loss), and prior beliefs abou...
متن کاملStatistical Decisions under Ambiguity: An Axiomatic Analysis
Consider a decision maker who faces a number of possible models of the world. Every model generates objective probabilities, but no probabilities of models are given. Applications of this framework include statistical decision making with model uncertainty, e.g. due to concerns for misspecification, or Robust Bayesian decision analysis. I characterize a number of decision rules including Bayesi...
