We present a theory and neurocomputational model of how specific brain operations produce complex decision and preference phenomena, including those explored in prospect theory and decision affect theory. We propose that valuation and decision making are emotional processes, involving interacting brain areas that include two expectation-discrepancy subsystems: a dopamine-encoded system for posi...

One of the important goals of banks as important economic enterprises of any country is to increase economic efficiency. One of the important goals of banks as important economic enterprises of any country is to increase economic efficiency. The classical approach to data envelopment analysis models takes into account the linear valuation function for all indicators. But linear valuation in man...

We propose the use of the Kramers-Moyal expansion in the analysis of third-order noise. In particular, we show how the approach can be applied in the theoretical study of option valuation. Despite Pawula's theorem, which states that a truncated model may exhibit poor statistical properties, we show that for a third-order Kramers-Moyal truncation model of an option's and its underlier's price, i...

Valuation networks have been proposed as graph� ical representations of valuation�based systems (VBSs). The VBS framework is able to capture many uncertainty calculi including probability theory, Dempster�Shafer's belief�function theory, Spohn's epistemic belief theory, and Zadeh's possibility theory. In this paper, we show how valuation networks encode conditional indepen� dence relations. For...

The aim of this paper is to generalize the‎‎notion of pseudo-almost valuation domains to arbitrary‎ ‎commutative rings‎. ‎It is shown that the classes of chained rings‎ ‎and pseudo-valuation rings are properly contained in the class of‎ ‎pseudo-almost valuation rings; also the class of pseudo-almost‎ ‎valuation rings is properly contained in the class of quasi-local‎ ‎rings with linearly ordere...

The notion of pseudo-valuations (valuations) on a BCC-algebra is introduced by using the Buşneag’s model ([1–3]), and a pseudo-metric is induced by a pseudo-valuation on BCC-algebras. Conditions for a real-valued function to be an BCK-pseudo-valuation are provided. The fact that the binary operation in BCC-algebras is uniformly continuous is provided based on the notion of (pseudo) valuation.

Based on the Buşneag’s model ([2, 3, 4]), the notion of pseudovaluations (valuations) on a BE-algebra is introduced, and a pseudometric is induced by a pseudo-valuation on BE-algebras. Related properties are investigated, and conditions for a real-valued function on a BE-algebra to be a pseudo-valuation are discussed. Using the notion of (pseudo) valuation, we show that the binary operation in ...

Probability distortions for constructing nonlinear G-expectations for the bid and ask or lower and upper prices in continuous time are here extended to the direct use of measure distortions. Fairly generally measure distortions can be constructed as probability distortions applied to an exponential distribution function on the half line. The valuation methodologies are extended beyond contract ...
