Canonical Representation of Preferences over a Set of Probability Distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
Building a model of individual preferences is a key for rational decision-making under uncertainty. Since preference can hardly be studied completely, its approximation from partially known preference is very important. The present paper provides a framework for building such approximation for regular preferences on abstract partially ordered set, and then applies the results to preferences on the set of distributions, thus establishing a link to decision-making.

Classification and properties of acyclic discrete phase-type distributions based on geometric and shifted geometric distributions
Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive. Compared to acyclic continuous phase-type (ACPH) distributions, acyclic discrete phase-type (ADPH) distributions and their subclasses (ADPH family) have ...
متن کاملParental Preferences over Children's Sex:The Case Study of Iran
The question of whether parents have preferences over their children’s sexes has long been of interest to economists and demographers. In this study, we first investigate the presence of these preferences among Iranian parents. Then, having established its existence, we next turn to characterize the quality of sex preference. There are two widely used methods for addressing this issue in the l...
متن کاملCanonical representation for approximating solution of fuzzy polynomial equations
In this paper, the concept of canonical representation is proposed to find fuzzy roots of fuzzy polynomial equations. We transform fuzzy polynomial equations to system of crisp polynomial equations, this transformation is perform by using canonical representation based on three parameters Value, Ambiguity and Fuzziness.
متن کاملClassical wavelet systems over finite fields
This article presents an analytic approach to study admissibility conditions related to classical full wavelet systems over finite fields using tools from computational harmonic analysis and theoretical linear algebra. It is shown that for a large class of non-zero window signals (wavelets), the generated classical full wavelet systems constitute a frame whose canonical dual are classical full ...
متن کاملAttitude toward imprecise information
This paper presents an axiomatic model of decision making under uncertainty which incorporates objective but imprecise information. Information is assumed to take the form of a probability-possibility set, that is, a set P of probability measures on the state space. The decision maker is told that the true probability law lies in P and is assumed to rank pairs of the form (P, f) where f is an a...
