Depression and Sequential Decision-Making Revisited

Convergence in a sequential two stages decision making process

We analyze a sequential decision making process, in which at each stepthe decision is made in two stages. In the rst stage a partially optimalaction is chosen, which allows the decision maker to learn how to improveit under the new environment. We show how inertia (cost of changing)may lead the process to converge to a routine where no further changesare made. We illustrate our scheme with some...

Continuous-time Sequential Decision Feedback: Revisited

Sequential feedback communications has wide ranging applications such as low power communications, error-resilience protocols etc. Two kinds of feedback communication systems can be indentified: information feedback and decision feedback. Continuous-time sequential decision feedback communication is the focus of this paper. The case when the detector test statistic is a Poisson random walk proc...

Decision Making and Sequential Sampling from Memory

Decisions take time, and as a rule more difficult decisions take more time. But this only raises the question of what consumes the time. For decisions informed by a sequence of samples of evidence, the answer is straightforward: more samples are available with more time. Indeed, the speed and accuracy of such decisions are explained by the accumulation of evidence to a threshold or bound. Howev...
