Canonical Representation of Preferences over a Set of Probability Distributions
Building a model of individual preferences is a key for rational decision-making under uncertainty. Since preference can hardly be studied completely, its approximation from partially known preference is very important. The present paper provides a framework for building such approximation for regular preferences on abstract partially ordered set, and then applies the results to preferences on ...
متن کاملThe Fourier-series method for inverting transforms of probability distributions
This paper reviews the Fourier-series method for calculating cumulative distribution functions (cdf’s) and probability mass functions (pmf’s) by numerically inverting characteristic functions, Laplace transforms and generating functions. Some variants of the Fourier-series method are remarkably easy to use, requiring programs of less than fifty lines. The Fourier-series method can be interprete...
متن کاملcomparative study of gender representation in top notch and ili series
esl/efl books play a crucial role in shaping language learners worldview of gender roles in society. the present study investigated the status of sexism in two sets of efl textbooks, one developed by non-native iranian authors (ili series) and the other by native authors (top notch series). first, two books from each series was selected randomly. then, a quantitative analysis was carried out wi...
Estimating Probability Distributions by Observing Betting Practices
A bookmaker takes bets on a two-horse race, attempting to minimise expected loss over all possible outcomes of the race. Profits are controlled by manipulation of customers’ betting behaviour; in order to do this, we need some information about the probability distribution which describes how the customers will bet. We examine what information initial customers’ betting behaviour provides about...
متن کاملProbability Distributions Generated by Fractional Diffusion Equations
Fractional calculus allows one to generalize the linear one-dimensional diiusion equation by replacing either the rst time derivative or the second space derivative by a derivative of fractional order. The fundamental solutions of these generalized diiusion equations are shown to provide probability density functions evolving in time or varying in space which are related to the special class of...
