Comparison-Induced Distortion of Probability
We investigated the role of Comparison-Induced Distortion (CID) in the representation of risk. Providing comparison risks has been shown to affect risk perception: one’s own risk seems higher when higher than the average risk (Klein, 1997) and lower when lower than average, independent of objective risk level. In two studies, we examined the effects of a verbal comparison (e.g. “a higher chance...
متن کاملOptimal Stopping under Probability Distortion∗
We formulate an optimal stopping problem where the probability scale is distorted by a general nonlinear function. The problem is inherently time inconsistent due to the Choquet integration involved. We develop a new approach, based on a reformulation of the problem where one optimally chooses the probability distribution or quantile function of the stopped state. An optimal stopping time can t...
متن کاملA Review of Statistics and Probability Journals in ISI Database
As in recent years the scientific productivity about ISI database and other related database have been increased, it is eligible for researchers of Statistics in Iran to know more about these journals and their statues in ISI database. In this study with the use of bibliometric methods, we have reviewed the status of Statistics and Probability . From all nations around the world, these are only...
متن کاملComparison of the distortion of probability information in decision under risk and an equivalent visual task.
Decision makers typically overweight small probabilities and underweight large probabilities. However, there are recent reports that when probability is presented in the form of relative frequencies, this typical pattern reverses. We tested this hypothesis by comparing decision making in two tasks: In one task, probability was stated numerically, and in the other task, it was conveyed through a...
متن کاملOPTIMAL STOPPING UNDER PROBABILITY DISTORTION ∗ By Zuo
We formulate an optimal stopping problem for a geometric Brownian motion where the probability scale is distorted by a general nonlinear function. The problem is inherently time inconsistent due to the Choquet integration involved. We develop a new approach, based on a reformulation of the problem where one optimally chooses the probability distribution or quantile function of the stopped state...
