The Two Headed Disk: Stochastic Dominance of the Greedy Policy
In his paper “Should the two-headed disk be greedy? Yes, it should” Hofri defined a “greedy policy” as follows. Assuming that the range of disk addresses is [OJ], a request at location x is served by the closest arm while the other arm jockeys to a new position, z, where z = (1/3)x or z = 2/3 +x/3 depending on whether x is larger or smaller than l/2. Hofri proved that this policy minimizes the ...
متن کاملStochastic Dominance
The concept of Stochastic Dominance (SD) appeared in Economics in the context of the study of income distribution, where it provided various criteria for ranking income distributions according to classes of social welfare functions. Although stochastic dominance is still much in use for studies of income distribution and of poverty, more recently it has also found uses in financial economics, w...
متن کاملElitism and stochastic dominance
Élitisme et Dominance Stochastique Résumé La dominance stochastique est traditionnellement associée à la mesure du risque et de l'inégalité et repose sur la concavité de la fonction d'utilité. Nous prétendons que l'approche en terme de dominance stochastique a des implications qui vont au-delà de la mesure du risque et de l'inégalité pour peu que l'on procède à certains ajustements. Nous appliq...
متن کاملOptimal Policy under Uncertainty and Learning about Climate Change: A Stochastic Dominance Approach
Global climate change presents a classic problem of decision making under uncertainty with learning. We provide stochastic dominance theorems that provide new insights into when abatement and investment into low carbon technology should increase in risk. We show that R&D into low-carbon technologies and near-term abatement are in some sense opposites in terms of risk. Abatement provides insuran...
متن کاملA New Stochastic Dominance Degree Based on Almost Stochastic Dominance and Its Application in Decision Making
Traditional stochastic dominance rules are so strict and qualitative conditions that generally a stochastic dominance relation between two alternatives does not exist. To solve the problem, we firstly supplement the definitions of almost stochastic dominance (ASD). Then, we propose a new definition of stochastic dominance degree (SDD) that is based on the idea of ASD. The new definition takes b...
