QUANTUM RATIONAL PREFERENCES AND DESIRABILITY Quantum rational preferences and desirability
We develop a theory of quantum rational decision making in the tradition of Anscombe and Aumann’s axiomatisation of preferences on horse lotteries. It is essentially the Bayesian decision theory generalised to the space of Hermitian matrices. Among other things, this leads us to give a representation theorem showing that quantum complete rational preferences are obtained by means of expected ut...
متن کاملCounterfactual Predictions
The difficulties in properly anticipating key economic variables may encourage decision makers to rely on experts’ forecasts. The experts’ forecasts, however, may not be accurate. So, their forecasts must be empirically tested. This may induce experts to forecast strategically to pass the test. A test can be ignorantly passed if a false expert, with no knowledge of the data generating process, ...
متن کاملCounterfactual computation
Suppose that we are given a quantum computer programmed ready to perform a computation if it is switched on. Counterfactual computation is a process by which the result of the computation may be learnt without actually running the computer. Such processes are possible within quantum physics and to achieve this e¬ect a computer embodying the possibility of running the computation must be availab...
متن کاملCounterfactual thinking.
Counterfactuals are mental representations of alternatives to the past and produce consequences that are both beneficial and aversive to the individual. These apparently contradictory effects are integrated in a functionalist model of counterfactual thinking. The author reviews research in support of the assertions that (a) counterfactual thinking is activated automatically in response to negat...
متن کاملCounterfactual Fairness
Machine learning has matured to the point to where it is now being considered to automate decisions in loan lending, employee hiring, and predictive policing. In many of these scenarios however, previous decisions have been made that are unfairly biased against certain subpopulations (e.g., those of a particular race, gender, or sexual orientation). Because this past data is often biased, machi...
