Two Comments on "Sufficiency and Statistical Decision Functions"

Certain Sufficiency Conditions on Gaussian Hypergeometric Functions

The author aims at finding certain conditions on a, b and c such that the normalized Gaussian hypergeometric function zF (a, b; c; z) given by F (a, b; c; z) = ∞ ∑ n=0 (a, n)(b, n) (c, n)(1, n) z, |z| < 1, is in certain subclasses of analytic functions. A particular operator acting on F (a, b; c; z) is also discussed.

Sufficiency of cut-generating functions

This note settles an open problem about cut-generating functions, a concept that has its origin in the work of Gomory and Johnson from the 1970’s and has received renewed attention in recent years.

Two Heuristic Functions for Decision

This paper investigates a different foundation for decision theory in which successive model refinement is central. The idea is to modify utility so that it can sometimes be calculated for an outcome without considering all the relevant properties that can be proved of the outcome, and without considering the utilities of its children. We build partially ordered heuristic utility functions. We ...
