Maxmin Weighted Expected Utility: A Simpler Characterization∗
Chateauneuf and Faro [3] axiomatize a weighted version of maxmin expected utility over acts with nonnegative utilities, where weights are represented by a confidence function. We argue that their representation is only one of many possible, and we axiomatize a more natural form of maxmin weighted expected utility. We also provide stronger uniqueness results.
متن کاملGreen is Simpler than Grue ∗
Goodman’s grue-bleen paradox relies on the claim that the predicate “green” is not simpler than the predicate “grue”, and that, for that reason, the choice between them is arbitrary. It is argued that this claim can only be made in a restricted model, in which functions have primitive names but particular values do not. In more natural models, which allow values to have proper names as well, th...
متن کاملVaricella surveillance: simpler than you think?
In the article 'Surveillance of viral pathogens in Australia: varicella-zoster virus' published in the previous issue of Communicable Diseases Intelligence, 1 the authors dismiss passive surveillance as unworkable because of 'the large numbers of cases of chickenpox and the small proportion of cases who seek medical attention'. It is not clear if they believe that passive surveillance is imprac...
متن کاملSkins Are Simpler Than You Think
Dermatology is an incredibly simple subject. The fact that there are over 1000 different skin diseases, each of which may appear in several disguises, with a correspondingly confusing nomenclature, is irrelevant, since diagnosis is not necessary for successful therapy. Dermatological diagnosis is undoubtedly useful for impressing less gifted colleagues who are only to be trusted with mechanisti...
متن کاملThe Absence of the Expected Host Galaxies
The transients following GRB970228 and GRB970508 showed that these (and probably all) GRBs are cosmological. However, the host galaxies expected to be associated with these and other bursts are largely absent, indicating that either bursts are further than expected or the host galaxies are underluminous. This apparent discrepancy does not invalidate the cosmological hypothesis, but instead host...
