Some Recent Ideas on Utility (and Probability)
نویسنده
چکیده
This note is a glueing together of two recent conference papers of mine, one from UAI-97 8] and from IJCAI-97 7], with minimal additional editing or quality control on the glueing process. Since I'm in the midst of following up on connections to several pre-existing lines of work, I'd like to reach stable state before publishing something else of the topic. The purpose of this note is to aid in eliciting feedback from a few colleagues on my ideas (at least on those as of several months ago).

Utility of Some Fibrinolytic System Parameters for Differential Diagnosis Between Ischemic and Non-Cardiogenic Chest Pain
The aim of the study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of some fibrinolytic parameters in the differential diagnosis between patients with unstable angina (UA) and musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Methods. This cross-sectional study included 119 patients with chest pain (CP) and provisional diagnosis “UA”. After a full set of diagnostic procedures, authors formed 4 groups: patients with isc...
متن کاملImprecise and Indeterminate Probabilities
Bayesian advocates of expected utility maximization use sets of probability distributions to represent very different ideas. Strict Bayesians insist that probability judgment is numerically determinate even though the agent can represent such judgments only in imprecise terms. According to Quasi Bayesians rational agents may make indeterminate subjective probability judgments. Both kinds of Bay...
متن کاملSome New Results on Policy Limit Allocations
Suppose that a policyholder faces $n$ risks X1, ..., Xn which are insured under the policy limit with the total limit of l. Usually, the policyholder is asked to protect each Xi with an arbitrary limit of li such that ∑ni=1li=l. If the risks are independent and identically distributed with log-concave cumulative distribution function, using the notions of majorization and stochastic orderings, ...
متن کاملFractional Probability Measure and Its Properties
Based on recent studies by Guy Jumarie [1] which defines probability density of fractional order and fractional moments by using fractional calculus (fractional derivatives and fractional integration), this study expands the concept of probability density of fractional order by defining the fractional probability measure, which leads to a fractional probability theory parallel to the classical ...
متن کاملHousehold utility and its long-run impressionability from economic shocks
Due to the fact that in recent years, Iran has faced severe fluctuations and shocks from macroeconomic variables, the household utility has changed. Undoubtedly, without studying and researching the effects of these shocks on household utility, appropriate solutions cannot be provided to reduce its adverse consequences. Therefore, in the first stage, this study has extracted the household utili...
