Using Preferred Outcome Distributions to estimate Value and Probability Weighting Functions in Decisions under Risk
In this paper we propose the use of preferred outcome distributions as a new method to elicit individuals’ value and probability weighting functions in decisions under risk. Extant approaches for the elicitation of these two key ingredients of individuals’ risk attitude typically rely on a long, chained sequence of lottery choices. In contrast, preferred outcome distributions can be elicited th...
متن کاملProbability Weighting in Damage Claiming Decisions
We present experimental evidence suggesting that insurance policyholders ignore the possibility of damage recurrence when deciding whether to submit a claim for a current small loss. The neglect results in successive claiming for current small damage levels. When the probability of damage recurrence is disclosed, subjects increase their cutoff damage for submitting a claim, and the recurrence p...
متن کاملInterdependent Security Games Under Behavioral Probability Weighting
We consider a class of interdependent security games where the security risk experienced by a player depends on her own investment in security as well as the investments of other players. In contrast to much of the existing work that considers risk neutral players in such games, we investigate the impacts of behavioral probability weighting by players while making security investment decisions....
متن کاملCo-evolution of Fitness Maximizers and Fitness Predictors
We introduce an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) based on co-evolution of fitness maximizers and fitness predictors for improving the performance of evolutionary search when evaluations are prohibitively expensive. Fitness predictors are lightweight objects which, given an evolving individual, heuristically approximate the true fitness. The predictors are trained by their ability to c...
متن کاملRank-Dependent Probability Weighting in Sequential Decision Problems under Uncertainty
This paper is devoted to the computation of optimal strategies in automated sequential decision problems. We consider here problems where one seeks a strategy which is optimal for rank dependent utility (RDU). RDU generalizes von Neumann and Morgenstern’s expected utility (by probability weighting) to encompass rational decision behaviors that EU cannot accomodate. The induced algorithmic probl...
