Psychophysical Interpretation for Utility Measures
The paper explores utility measures by combining experiments with mathematical derivations in the psychophysics paradigm. The analysis on the ultimatum game experiment reveals evidences for the utility threshold and thus supports Bernoulli’s utility logarithmic law. Both experimental results and theoretical derivations show that the logarithmic law is suitable for the description of commodity c...

متن کاملFoundations of Similarity and Utility
In this paper we discuss a rigorous foundation of similarity reasoning based on the concept of utility. If utility is formulated in mathematical terms it can serve as a formal specification for a similarity system. However, utility can also be formulated in informal ways. We consider subjective versions, competing ones and those that change dynamically over time. These are illustrated by exampl...
متن کاملOn the Foundations of Expected Expected Utility
Intelligent agents often need to assess user utility functions in order to make decisions on their behalf, or predict their behavior. When uncertainty exists over the precise nature of this utility function, one can model this uncertainty using a distribution over utility functions. This view lies at the core of games with incomplete information and, more recently, several proposals for increme...
متن کاملWhat is the utility of the psychophysical 'light scattering factor'?
It has been suggested by Sjöstrand and his colleagues that an index of scatter by the ocular media may be derived from contrast sensitivity measured with and without a glare source. This index was tested under different conditions of stimulus luminance and found not to be constant and thus to not reflect a property of the media.
