Further Experimental Evidence against the Utility of Occam's Razor
This paper presents new experimental evidence against the utility of Occam's razor. A systematic procedure is presented for post-processing decision trees produced by C4.5. This procedure was derived by rejecting Occam's razor and instead attending to the assumption that similar objects are likely to belong to the same class. It increases a decision tree's complexity without altering the perfor...
متن کاملRigorously testing multialternative decision field theory against random utility models.
Cognitive models of decision making aim to explain the process underlying observed choices. Here, we test a sequential sampling model of decision making, multialternative decision field theory (MDFT; Roe, Busemeyer, & Townsend, 2001), on empirical grounds and compare it against 2 established random utility models of choice: the probit and the logit model. Using a within-subject experimental des...

متن کاملConditional Utility, Utility Independence, and Utility Networks
We introduce a new interpretation of two re lated notions conditional utility and utility independence. Unlike the traditional inter pretation, the new interpretation render the notions the direct analogues of their prob abilistic counterparts. To capture these no tions formally, we appeal to the notion of util ity distribution, introduced in previous paper. We show that utility distributi...
متن کاملUtility-based Utility *
A major virtue of von Neumann-Morgenstern utilities, for example, in the theory of general financial equilibrium (GFE), is that they ensure time consistency: consumption-portfolio plans (for the future) are in fact executed (in the future) — assuming that there is perfect foresight about relevant endogenous variables. This paper proposes an alternative to expected utility, one which also delive...
