The Evolution of Decision and Experienced Utilities∗
Psychologists report that people make choices on the basis of “decision utilities” that routinely overestimate the “experienced utility” consequences of these choices. This paper argues that this dichotomy between decision and experienced utilities may be the solution to an evolutionary design problem. We examine a setting in which evolution designs agents with utility functions that must media...
متن کاملTime functions as utilities
Every time function on spacetime gives a (continuous) total preordering of the spacetime events which respects the notion of causal precedence. The problem of the existence of a (semi-)time function on spacetime and the problem of recovering the causal structure starting from the set of time functions are studied. It is pointed out that these problems have an analog in the field of microeconomi...
متن کاملLearning Decision Theoretic Utilities through Reinforcement Learning
Probability models can be used to predict outcomes and compensate for missing data, but even a perfect model cannot be used to make decisions unless the utility of the outcomes, or preferences between them, are also provided. This arises in many real-world problems, such as medical diagnosis, where the cost of the test as well as the expected improvement in the outcome must be considered. Relat...
متن کاملDecision-theoretic Elicitation of Generalized Additive Utilities
Decision-theoretic elicitation of generalized additive utilities Darius Braziūnas Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2012 In this thesis, we present a decision-theoretic framework for building decision support systems that incrementally elicit preferences of individual users over multiattribute outcomes and then provide recommendations based on th...
متن کاملDecision Modelling Tools for Utilities in the Deregulated Energy Market
This thesis examines the impact of the deregulation of the energy market on decision making and optimisation in utilities and demonstrates how decision support applications can solve specific encountered tasks in this context. The themes of the thesis are presented in different frameworks in order to clarify the complex decision making and optimisation environment where new sources of uncertain...
